Hate to be the bearer of bad news but this was avoidable
two things why is a guy thats 25 hanging out with 12 year old girls and why were they in the bucket
How can you not see them in the bucket of a Bobcat... It's right in front of you
thats too bad...maybe the third girl was the best looking one so the guy was looking at her and didn't see the other two fall out

There should be a new section called "Dumb Operator News."Like dirtman said, how can you not see that those girls fell out in front of you!

So this guy knowingly has two young girls in the bucket and operates in a way that A. he does'nt see whats happening in front of him, and B. he manages to knock them both out and run them over. It seems like were missing some details or this guy is one of the most dangerous operators i've heard of.
...when they were run over by a Bobcat utility vehicle...Gotta wonder if it was a skid steer, or a Toolcat? It would be easier to understand if it was a Toolcat. Still stupid though....The third girl, who was not in the bucket, ...

Bit of fun turned into a very nasty accident!
Be sure if you MUST drive children, people or even animals around in the bucket of equipment please drive backwards!
If i was ever stupid enough to let someone ride in the bucket, my eyes would be glued to them the whole time i was moving.How could you even take your eyes off them for a split second while moving,and not just one,he ran both 2 of them,one after the other.No way is this an "unfortunate accident",it is complete neglicence by the supposed "operator". No way should this have happened.
I agree. What is the safety manual and operators guide there for? It obviously clearly states that no passengers should ever be carried on these vehicles.

If at first you don't succeed, lubricate or make bigger! If you don't have a 'plan B', plan 'A' is bound to fail
And if he was on rough ground and going fast that Skid steer was like a bucking bronc too.Originally Posted by Bellboy
