Some of you might think these pictures are cool. Well I can´t help thinking about the people involved, how many was killed, how many was sereously injured. These are all great pictures and I hope it will remind you how dangerous it can be oprating heawy machines. Take care out there...

Greatdane, I couldn't have said it better myself. I was a lucky one that survived an excavator sliding down a concrete ramp that gave way crushing my cab. !
because Cat has the largest market share, same reason you see no Bells... nobody uses them..........

Seeing that makes me have to ask What was he doing there with a roller anyway???
I'm guessing that is him lying on the ground in the background of the picture? That could have been very nasty
Atlas Rob, sorry it took so long to reply, somehow I didn't get back to this post till today. I do have a couple pics from my accident, but do not have access to posting them. The accident I refered to was a bridge demolition. We were Demoing a tail span of a complete concrete structure, Deck, Beams.exc... This was the first of this type I had ever taken down. The foreman instructed me that the tail span was rebar tied into the back wall where it rested. It was not!!! The entire span went tumbling down after cracking a few beams with a demo hammer mounted on an old excavator which I was in that slid down the span as it fell. The machine came to rest flush with the column pier when everything stopped falling. I DUCKED and held the controls the whole ride down. The cab was crushed above my head, I walked thru the opening where the foot bedals were. And the rest they say...Well, I was here to live to tell I guess!
