Man is lucky to be alive. You could see that one coming. and the way he was picking at the building I think he knew it was coming also.

Demo Accident

Where did that happen?

It looks like it might be over in China where they are building too much too fast without the proper safety precautions.

Operator is lucky. Didn't trash the hoe too badly either.

:Banghead That man is one stupid XXXXXXX . and shouln't be on a demolitionsite

I have seen more of these stupid things, many of them also in the US.
It is sad to see that they are still way behind in using special demolition techniques. It is all about getting it down the fastest way only using old techniques like balling.
And when they finally use things like a HRD (High Reach Demolition excavator) they think it can be used as a wreckingball. It is getting better, but there is still a long way to go.

Not all, but many ...
