I didn't want to post it on the forum for obvious reasons. I was wondering a couple of things after watching it though. First the back story...
The name of it is " Dozer rolls down a mountain" on youtube. My first thought was does this guy have the first clue of what he is doing ? Answer....No. Secondly I see he was trying to push very large boulders down the slope and I mean slope. I don't have anymore information other than the video. It was shot in Ca.
Unfortunately the operator of this bulldozer lost his life doing something very foolish. For that may he rest in peace. Still I thought. Why take the chance if you don't know what you're doing. Sadly this sort of thing happens all the time. Harry the home owner ,wants to save some money. Rents a piece of equipment {Knowing full well} he doesn't have a clue how powerful it is. Then destroys something,kills someone or self.
This is why we have HEAVY EQUIPMENT OPERATORS as a trained,skilled group of folks who know what to do. Now, I've both seen,done & heard of things that weren't safe. This video top's the cake on unsafe operation on any scale...
