Different people handle boredom in different ways.
Some people masturbate to free internet porn, others come up with ideas like this... |

Meh. Company demo with ready made props for effect. Go to a job site and watch a real operator work with what's available. Some of those guys are magicians.

Operator -> No helmet.
Lovely safety pre-cautions. Wonder what OSHA would think of this? Pretty sweet though. |

Quoted: Operator -> No helmet. Lovely safety pre-cautions. Wonder what OSHA would think of this? Pretty sweet though. Why would it even matter in this case? If he needed the helmet, he'd have needed divine protection. Everybody knows that the real purpose of a hard hat when working with heavy equipment is for body identfication. This is why your name should always be on your hardhat, and on it in such a way that it will stay legible even when you're a smear on the ground. If they find your hard hat, they'll know whose smear it likely is. CJ |

The trackhoe has hooks on the front that engage every level. The attachment hooks onto the tower. The only risk is hydraulic failure. And then he'd just hang there. You can see him "unload" the hydraulics on each level making sure the front hooks are engaged before he disconnects the attachment. Etc. It's cool to watch, of course, but I'm sure anyone on here that's ever operated any heavy equipment could do it. That is, if they had a specially made tower and a modified trackhoe. I'm more impressed by the guys that can load a Bobcat or backhoe onto a trailer without ramps. -p. ETA:  |

You know if this was the US military he'd be in a world of shit for not wearing his PT belt.

My Father ran excavators for 40 years. He did 28 years for a municipality running them and another 12 as a union operator. He was most definitely a magician with those things, and in high demand for large freeway jobs in and around Ohio. I cannot remember the model exactly, but his last was an Komatsu that dug about 40' down. I'm wanting to say it was like a PC1250 class. |

If you look, it's actually a trackshovel, and they use double cylinders on everything. It's ballsy, but less likely to fail than things I've seen and done on jobs with similar equipment. Inclines and working on top of things not designed for that sort of weight scare me more. Quicksand, and working around sinkholes is even worse.
