I geuss you guys can figure out why this guy died.
A thread was started on this a couple weeks ago.
Here's a link to that thread:http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/...ead.php?t=2420
The series of pictures that were originally posted in that thread were removed, for the reasons discussed there. This accident seems to keep coming up, from different members. If it will serve to notify everybody of which particular series of accident pictures has already been discussed, and found not suitable for posting here, I'll let this one picture remain. As expressed in the other thread, this won't be the site for display of graphic images of injury or death. This is the only one of the series that you'll see posted on this site.

What kind of dozer is that it's a funny looking high track?
It looks to me like a Cat Skidder. They extended the track frames back to counter act the grapple.
This one came up again in the past couple of days, (albeit, this time in the crane forum) so I've made this thread a sticky. Hopefully it'll be seen by all, and we won't have to edit out those pictures yet again.
Proudly spending today building the dilapidated housing of the 22nd century....

hey digger do you know where i can see the rest of the pics?
ouch
man that is just terrible i mean think if somebody had just paid more attention
The guy had probably done this before often and never had a problem. Too bad. Just that one time is usually so tragic and final when it does happen.
Hello.
One thing people must understand.
We work with this equipment, it could happen to me!
Most of us have a family, I am the exception.
For this reason this upsets me, my coworkersARE my family!
Ask yourself this, would you walk up to me and hand me a bunch of pictures like this?
It took me A FEW DAYS to come up with a tame response to this.
