The guys ask from him to leave space to their cars

He claim he didnt pay attantion that his elbow push the joystick in the remote control while he waited to the next mixer truck

Nothing happand to the pump... and nobody was hurt.

Not buying that story Todd if he had already pumped our a truck where is the concrete that would have

Spilled out of the hopper. And why was the boom so close to the danger zone that he could not correct

It if his elbow hit the stick and why was the boom not over the wall if he waiting on a truck.

Very good Zack, i had not even thought of those things. I do not think the owner bought it either because I heard he got fired.

This looks to me to be a classic case of oops, I didn't remember I didn't put those outriggers out all the way. Not paying attention and slewed the wrong way. Now the question is, was the operator negligent by imrporely setting up his pump? If someone got hurt, would he be found criminally negligent? Things to consider because everyone is out to sue to get some money. We are professionals, doing a job that is dangerous but we make it look so easy, well...at least on most days.

just looking at this one pic, i dont belive the operator really cared.  why would one give a peddle bike let alone a pump to this op?  i aint perfect but fuck man....
