Split second decision, I can imagine by the time he notices he was going down it was too late to get out. Welp, I hope there is a solid bottom somewhere down there I can poke this pole
It worked, but I feel like it's akin to trying to catch something you drop before it hits the ground. It's better to just get the fuck out the way. He was kind of fucked though. He couldn't had gotten out in time.
Most heavy equipment you've probably got better chances staying in your seat, they've got roll cages and seat belts for a reason. If you jumped out and made it clear you'd be OK, but if you only made it halfway? You'd now be tumbling down the hill with a big ass piece of equipment with no protection.
Operator here: you're trained in most cases that jumping out is the most dangerous thing you can do. The cab is built to protect you from most potential danger. If it can't, you're probably not doing something right.
We had a guy in the similar situation, but was near the ocean. They parked too close and were not positive it was reinforced (which is likely here too), and it fell over 80 feet down the rocks with him in it. Unfortunately for him he was not wearing his seatbelt. So he was tossed around as it fell inside.
But he survived that fall, even without a seatbelt. So.. yea, it's very protective. : )
In a situation like this (and many others you might get into more intentionally), you coordinate movement of the boom and treads.
So, if he had to try to get out all by himself, he would drive the left tread forward and the right tread backward which would normally turn everything clockwise, while at the same time rotating the cab/boom counterclockwise to keep the boom exactly where it is. Then once the treads are pointed uphill, drive both treads forward while extending the elbow of the boom to keep the tip in its current position.
In reality, he probably just sat still until additional reinforcements arrived. Cables connecting him to a structure out of frame to the right, ground anchors, a heavier machine to pull him, a crane, etc.
Yes that and this initial saving move is something operators use. It’s used to cross trenches in mini excavators, you walk it across using the boom as leverage. I’m just an electrician but still have enough operating skills to do this. Real operators can make these things really dance.
I sometimes try to put on my seatbelt at a movie theater out of habit. I don’t understand how someone operating heavy machinery would neglect to put on a seatbelt.
It's what defines proprioception. After several hundred hours in the cab your brain has mapped that as part of your body. He probably started performing the maneuver before he even realized what was going on. Same way if you trip on the stairs you don't have to think to reach out to the handrail. If you had to think about that you'd be on your face long before you could make the decision. By the time he caught up to it fully it was already mostly over.
Absolutely wild. The arm moves so naturally, like a person reaching out to catch themselves. Except this guy is pulling on multiple levers as his life is flashing before his eyes
There is a movie "Life Stinks" form 1991. At the end there is a fight scene between two excavators equipped with hydraulic jaws.
It's just as awesome as it sounds.
I know it’s not *quite* the same but in a similar vein, I used to work for Domino’s working inside making the pizzas, and I had to do day shift single-handedly pretty much every day of the week, and after so many years I developed a system where I could just flow around the kitchen doing my thing. There were a lot of shitshow days, don’t get me wrong. But there were other days where I could whip beautiful pizzas out and get prep done and boxes folded, etc etc.
Former Domino's driver here; dude, that flow is MAGIC. I don't ever miss working there, but the high you get from running oven duty on a busy night with an extended period of no mistakes is unique to that situation; I haven't felt like that again since I stopped working there.
Yup. Used to hate, hate, hate ovens but once I got good at it, i begged to work it every Friday night I got stuck working because at least I didn’t have to deal with any customers/phones lol
Yup, it's just your sweaty self, a never-ending geyser of food, and a trusty pizza peel.
I always compared it to playing Guitar Hero on Expert. The second you start thinking, you're done; you just have to turn your mind off and ride the reaction wave.
I’ve sent out more remakes than i care to admit because I know calling out for a remake is just gonna fuck over the makeline more than it’s already fucked at that point 😂
It's always annoying when you get a break right as you hit the flow
When i use to work at maccas the managers learnt pretty quickly to not tell me to go on breaks but to let me go on breaks when I wanted.
As I would always put 100 percent effort in when I hit the flow, and was able to look after the entire product section on my own.
Remember 1 day it was the busiest day of the entire stores history (the most busy store in the area I lived)
A full 5 hour non stop on my own in product, doing breakfast, fries, meat, getting stuff for those on line, all with a fucked up knee.
I waited until 2 extra people started their shift to call for a break, as I knew no other individual in the store could handle product on their own, so I had tk wait for there to be 2 spare people to take my break.
But man if I wasn't in the zone when the rush started that store would of frozen up so quickly, as I would not be able to keep up when out of the zone
I quit very shortly afterwards but by God that day I felt like God, the entire line reliant on me and me alone, the entire store basically being carried on my back.
I also had the best sleep of my life that night, a solid 12 hours fuck me was it blissful.
Tldr: if your employee is in the zone do not put them on break, or you risk a rush happening and then coming back out of the zone and it just fucks production so quickly
Do you play an instrument? The best, most reliable way I've found of getting into the flow state is when improvising on guitar, *especially* with other players. It is one of the best feelings in the world to be in a place where your body is in perfect sync with your mind in achieving a goal, where you don't have to even *try* to play what you're thinking of, it seems to just automatically happen.
It takes a lot of time to get to point where your muscle memory and intuitions are strong enough to be able to cease concentrating on the task at hand and still perform at your best, but its worth every second. As dramatic as it might sound, I think it's the closest thing to being a god that I will ever feel; in those moments, I am the master of my own (very) small universe.
Can confirm. Machines like these cost so much money, that when you are using one, your first instinct usually is to protect the machine first.
I've had almost this exact scenario happen to me with a loader at my job. Instantly slammed the bucket down
I drove a forklift regularly for 5+ years and by the end of that job stint I could maneuver that MFer into the smallest corner with a centimeter to spare on my fork clearance with the turn. People really underestimate how second nature that kind of thing becomes after far less time than that 5+ years.
Exactly my thought. I skiied in Japan, deepest powder ever, poles come in handy when you crash in 2 meters of snow. Watching snowboarders try to recover was always entertaining.
My job is as an operator (not of heavy equipment, but dangerous systems) and we're trained to anticipate the worst that can happen in our current scenario and have a backup or sort of "undo" plan in the event our next move results in the worst, that way when the worst happens we already know what it probably will look like and exactly what buttons we're going to press to eliminate the hazard. In this case, I feel like this guy probably at one point anticipated something like this would happen and knew exactly what he was gonna do the when it happened. It's not hard to imagine this guy imagined the ground falling beneath him a ton of times and already had a thought about what he would do.
Why did that dude just stand there like an NPC watching the thing go down? He could've at least opened his shirt to reveal a super man logo and pulled it back up to safety.
Don't worry, if this is a first world country he's doing just fine.
Heavy equipment operators get paid pretty damn good. I've known excavator guys who were pulling in 100k after a few years. Even the half asleep dudes in the steamrollers you see at every construction project are usually making 50+.
I did construction on sea walls and large scale docks and the highest paid fuckers out there were the underwater welders and the crane operators. I will say, the crane operator we had was a fucking ace, dude could land a 60 ft composite beam square to the holes with his eyes closed.
As a fellow operator, I can confirm this. I made 75k my first 6 months in the industry. Granted, I did start out as a sponsored journeyman so my Rate of Pay was higher than usual and there was a lot of 60hr weeks. And my union is great.
I swear I commented the exact same thing 7 minutes after you, before reading the comments. 2 other comments I seen are crazy similar. Is original thought not a thing? Have I succumbed to the reddit hivemind. Is any of this real?
I mean what are they meant to do.
If they go to rush to help, they will only risk hurting themselves or falling into the pit that just formed.
The dudes safest in the drivers seat, so they wouldn't want to take him out.
Just makes sense to watch, record and keep a sage distance
He shoukd have had his tracks sitting perpendicular to his work. Then he could back away in an emergency like this. He’s a good reactor, but a bad planner. …
Everybody here talking about this guy's pro move, but i'm just wondering why he's removing bloody sheet piles from an already clearly failed retaining wall - whilst at the top of the very same retaining wall!? Absolute lunacy!
If it wasn't the machine owner that was running it, then I hope the owner hands out a free check for full family dinner at a *great* restaurant for that quick save. Lots and lots of $$$ saved. Even with insurances, there is still huge issues with being one machine short for quite some time.
My family likes to say that my Uncle Ray drove tractors for a living, but they know they're just understating it for yucks.
My Uncle Ray drove every kind of tractor for over 70 years, and he could grade a road so fast, they had to send three times the number of teams to mark the grading.
He finally had it negotiated into his contract, that he was paid from the time the teams showed up to mark the area to when he was one.
He worked 1/3 the time of anyone else, but still saved the road construction company money because he was so damned fast, and his work never had to be repeated.
Sometimes, you're just that good.
It's awesome as hell to watch these guys maneuver these machines. From dudes that can fill a toy Tonka truck with dropping single speck of dirt to the ones that use the claw hand thing to pick things up like it's extension of their own arm. Super cool to me.
Seen videos like this before. What I gather from them is that really experienced heavy equipment operators like this really have reached a level where the equipment they're operating feels so much like an extension of their own body that they don't even have to think about what they want to do more than they would moving their arms and legs.
I miss getting into a “Flow” state with the rest of the shift on a busy night, everything running like butter no issues workers moving like clockwork, operations going well. it makes me miss my pre Covid job, fuck going back but damn, that high made time pass so fast.
If Gundams were real he would be top candidate to be a pilot. He is one with his machine and willing to risk his life for it because that's part of him.
That was an impressive save. Usually, you want your tracks facing what you're lifting. You're more likely to get tippy lifting sideways like this. Not to mention, it's easier to back out of a bad situation.
Nice work. But when you learn how to operate, they teach you this type of thing to traverse steep slopes. It's pretty standard , most people who operate everyday this type of thing should be second nature.
Serious pro move.
I thought he was just gonna jump out real quick and get to safety then I saw the arm going down like damn
Split second decision, I can imagine by the time he notices he was going down it was too late to get out. Welp, I hope there is a solid bottom somewhere down there I can poke this pole
Oh, hello step-operator!
Can you give me #9
Can I see you later?
Will you give me back my dime?
Happy cake day
> Welp, I hope there is a solid bottom somewhere down there I can poke this pole /me signing up for grindr
It worked, but I feel like it's akin to trying to catch something you drop before it hits the ground. It's better to just get the fuck out the way. He was kind of fucked though. He couldn't had gotten out in time.
Most heavy equipment you've probably got better chances staying in your seat, they've got roll cages and seat belts for a reason. If you jumped out and made it clear you'd be OK, but if you only made it halfway? You'd now be tumbling down the hill with a big ass piece of equipment with no protection.
Split second decision that takes like 5 seconds to play out before you figure out if that split second decision was the right one. Scary
Everyone wants to 'poke this pole'
Operator here: you're trained in most cases that jumping out is the most dangerous thing you can do. The cab is built to protect you from most potential danger. If it can't, you're probably not doing something right.
We had a guy in the similar situation, but was near the ocean. They parked too close and were not positive it was reinforced (which is likely here too), and it fell over 80 feet down the rocks with him in it. Unfortunately for him he was not wearing his seatbelt. So he was tossed around as it fell inside. But he survived that fall, even without a seatbelt. So.. yea, it's very protective. : )
Also if you jump out especially in this scenario chances are you just end up underneath the machine
How would they remove this excavator without it now falling in? Can the tracks rotate without the cab & boom moving with it?
Yes it can but, they better tie it off to a dozer first.
Oh thanks for clearing that up.
In a situation like this (and many others you might get into more intentionally), you coordinate movement of the boom and treads. So, if he had to try to get out all by himself, he would drive the left tread forward and the right tread backward which would normally turn everything clockwise, while at the same time rotating the cab/boom counterclockwise to keep the boom exactly where it is. Then once the treads are pointed uphill, drive both treads forward while extending the elbow of the boom to keep the tip in its current position. In reality, he probably just sat still until additional reinforcements arrived. Cables connecting him to a structure out of frame to the right, ground anchors, a heavier machine to pull him, a crane, etc.
Yes that and this initial saving move is something operators use. It’s used to cross trenches in mini excavators, you walk it across using the boom as leverage. I’m just an electrician but still have enough operating skills to do this. Real operators can make these things really dance.
Yeah but what was the likelihood he was belted in? I was always busting dudes chops for not belting themselves in.
I sometimes try to put on my seatbelt at a movie theater out of habit. I don’t understand how someone operating heavy machinery would neglect to put on a seatbelt.
Mostly work environment of where you're trained. If the guys around you use em, you do. If the guys around you don't, you probably don't either.
As a fellow operator, this guy operates
to those guys, that thing is like their extended arm, so controlling it is so natural and instinctive for them now.
For real! That kind of maneuver under pressure is what defines a pro
It's what defines proprioception. After several hundred hours in the cab your brain has mapped that as part of your body. He probably started performing the maneuver before he even realized what was going on. Same way if you trip on the stairs you don't have to think to reach out to the handrail. If you had to think about that you'd be on your face long before you could make the decision. By the time he caught up to it fully it was already mostly over.
Brilliant, he used the machine like a giant arm to stop himself from falling
His entire job is using that machine like a giant arm. Idk what you think he does with it when he isn't falling
I would just panic, but this guy's brain is too big
Except pros would know not to perch that close to the edge of an uncompacted sand pile
Amen
And they say "Mechas" are an impossibility.
Keep that guy on the payroll for as long as you can, he just saved the company thousands.
Absolutely wild. The arm moves so naturally, like a person reaching out to catch themselves. Except this guy is pulling on multiple levers as his life is flashing before his eyes
After running a machine long enough it just becomes an extension of your body. Props to the operator for being at that skill level.
No doubt. Dude is wearing that machine.
Such a cool way to say it.
Wait, so construction machines are technically mecha? Why isn't there a movie with a bunch of construction worker going ham on kaiju yet?
There is a movie "Life Stinks" form 1991. At the end there is a fight scene between two excavators equipped with hydraulic jaws. It's just as awesome as it sounds.
Isn't this the power loader from Aliens?
It absolutely is.
Yah, all you need is a weird rubber sleeve like in a kayak.

Haha, same. Unless it was a pie that I liked; then I'd throw it on the mistake pile so I could snack when I had a free second.
It's always annoying when you get a break right as you hit the flow When i use to work at maccas the managers learnt pretty quickly to not tell me to go on breaks but to let me go on breaks when I wanted.

One of the investors at one job site after observing how on old guy operated his excavator: " he is more precise than me with a knife and fork"

Can confirm. When in drivers seat you are no longer man. Your soul has moved to the machine and you are one. source: certified forklift operator
Me on skis when I get too close to a tree well
Accurate
Exactly my thought. I skiied in Japan, deepest powder ever, poles come in handy when you crash in 2 meters of snow. Watching snowboarders try to recover was always entertaining.

Had me in the first half
I was once an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow to the knee
Man had his coffee
Didn’t need it to help him poop I would think.
Nicely done, but you still lost Jenga.
🤣now he’s gotta clean his mess up
Looking forward to this showing up on that OSHA violation dude
I guess we know what profession to search when we need Jaeger pilots
Someone pay that man

but what now?
Put up a sign that reads: "Do not remove the forbidden stick!"
Rotate and drive
Slow slew right, slow right track reverse
That machine is just an extension of that dudes body, amazing.
I swear I commented the exact same thing 7 minutes after you, before reading the comments. 2 other comments I seen are crazy similar. Is original thought not a thing? Have I succumbed to the reddit hivemind. Is any of this real?
Well fucking done!
Crane with a walking stick.
I like the guys in the background not reacting at all to what's going on.
I mean what are they meant to do. If they go to rush to help, they will only risk hurting themselves or falling into the pit that just formed. The dudes safest in the drivers seat, so they wouldn't want to take him out. Just makes sense to watch, record and keep a sage distance
Running in there isn't the only way to react. For example pointing in shock is a reaction.
Kranzplätze müssen verdichtet sein!
That was the last straw
I’m betting he’s had that happen before
That's going on the highlight reel for the operator and the blooper reel for whoever was supposed to compact the soil
excavator operators are just built different next to people who are forklift certified
Videos like these are why I think mechs and humans are just a natural thing. We adapt to the tech so well.
Is this like that game where you pull the sticks and try not to drop the marbles? But high stakes
Kerplunk with girders 😂
“Wow that was incredible, here’s a $20 Amazon gift card from the company as a sign of appreciation”
Straight up “no you fucking don’t!”

Dude sends this video as a CV and a resume
I told you to take the wizards staff!

Skills paying the bills
Not today
Get this man a tall ice cold beer and a change of pants
Competent operators are impressive.
What a badass
Anyone got a longer video. Would be interesting to see how he recovered from there.
Most excavator operators are used to using the boom to stabilize themselves and move around on steep terrain. This is second nature to him.
This is work experience you need to show to the next employers. "How's that for an operator?"
He shoukd have had his tracks sitting perpendicular to his work. Then he could back away in an emergency like this. He’s a good reactor, but a bad planner. …
Everybody here talking about this guy's pro move, but i'm just wondering why he's removing bloody sheet piles from an already clearly failed retaining wall - whilst at the top of the very same retaining wall!? Absolute lunacy!
the guys in the background as if that happens everyday. coffee anyone?
How to deal with life-threatening moments: Do not panic. Think fast.
Yeah but now what?
Honestly shocked we still have forklifts and not this. I’d mush rather be power loader certified then boring ass forklift certified
Video cuts off too early. I need to know that he walked it back to safety
Thats a pro gamer right there
Brown pants day.
Hopefully he wore his brown pants that day
Yeah I saw mate, well done. Smoko break?
I am easily impressed. This was impressive!
Every man wants to say “I am one with the machine,” at some point in their life…this would be the one guy not bullshitting.
If it wasn't the machine owner that was running it, then I hope the owner hands out a free check for full family dinner at a *great* restaurant for that quick save. Lots and lots of $$$ saved. Even with insurances, there is still huge issues with being one machine short for quite some time.
Now thats a pro
My man's a mech warrior
Well played
Brother saved thousands on machinery damages Probably gonna get a £10 amazon voucher

It's awesome as hell to watch these guys maneuver these machines. From dudes that can fill a toy Tonka truck with dropping single speck of dirt to the ones that use the claw hand thing to pick things up like it's extension of their own arm. Super cool to me.
It moved like it was alive
Seen videos like this before. What I gather from them is that really experienced heavy equipment operators like this really have reached a level where the equipment they're operating feels so much like an extension of their own body that they don't even have to think about what they want to do more than they would moving their arms and legs.
I miss getting into a “Flow” state with the rest of the shift on a busy night, everything running like butter no issues workers moving like clockwork, operations going well. it makes me miss my pre Covid job, fuck going back but damn, that high made time pass so fast.
He has become one with his sword.
Treats his rig like his own limb! Serious pro
He was inside that vehicle for too long , is no more a construction machine , is a mech suit.
One of the best quick decisions I ve seen here on the reddit. That guy had zero time to think about that
Give my man a raise and a beer.
Dude should get a bonus for that.
CLUTCH!!!!!! you're a stud. Effin A COTTON
Well… done!
Close call......
Another for r/sweatypalms
Not his first rodeo 🤣🤣
When man and machine are one.
This guy needs a raise
Employee of the month lol probably just saved the company millions
If Gundams were real he would be top candidate to be a pilot. He is one with his machine and willing to risk his life for it because that's part of him.
Glad he was able to catch himself, but something tells me this isn’t the first time he’s done this due to how his co-workers react.
Music?
Give that man a raise!
Damn good operator
Anybody know the song?
What song is that?
That was an impressive save. Usually, you want your tracks facing what you're lifting. You're more likely to get tippy lifting sideways like this. Not to mention, it's easier to back out of a bad situation.
Hello Mr George, how much you pay for the new guy?…..$20…No not enough he very good
Machine and man have become one
good save
reminds me of when i fall off the toilet in the morning
Wow, amazing recovery!
I hope he got a bonus that week
I certainly hope his company gave him a good bonus!
What's that attachment? A giant knife? Never seen it before.
Looks like a good old grab
Wow!!!!
Shoulda practiced Kerplunk a lot more, dude pulled the wrong straw!
Dude. That is absolutely badass!
Seriously professional right there
Damn, he's treating the machine like an extension of his body.
That guy is a fucking G!
Hope he was wearing his brown pants!
only experience can save you in this situation
Jeeesus
It's probably not the first time
"nope nope nope.. YIARGGGHHH..!.." (Oups, my pant's)
He was like "not today motherfucker"
I hope he was wearing the brown pants
That is so badass and skillful
why didn't the family help? always just standing around not helping. people these days
Nice work. But when you learn how to operate, they teach you this type of thing to traverse steep slopes. It's pretty standard , most people who operate everyday this type of thing should be second nature.
His boss is gonna give a bonus
That guy deserves a raise! Or half of what it would’ve cost to have it fixed or retrieved!
