Guess he never thought of the 1 to 1 rule.

It's clear what happend as the 1st picture shows,to much mud in left side of hopper.This created an overweight condition on that side,geeze.

Explaining how the ground just gave way

you 're funny, many

DOH!!!  competition time here... what is the guy in the last photo with the overalls saying to his mate??????

Operator telling contractor it was his ground that gave way.And he should pay for the wrecker.

Problem is not so much that these kind of guys don't have time to go to seminars actualy.. Question is.. If you're so stupid that you think you can stand so close to that edge .... Than... Will you ever learn how its done??? Or should you not be on a pump at all??? Lucky no one got hurt!!!!!!

Many.. I also think you're funny!!! lol

I always look for the lighter side,but,this is an excellent example.Should one of the members know who the operator is,suggest this website.Sometimes we have to learn from our own mistakes,this could have been tragic.I have no explanation,no injuries,damage minimal,pride needs a bandaid.

Ya know,sometimes it's how we explain things that it sinks in.I screw up every day,98% of the time I catch it before anyone sees it.

Have a safe New Year

look's like -6 on the 1 to 1 rule

just another case of "this is were i need you to setup cause we cant block traffic" gone bad

or maybe hes one of those "i set up like this everyday"

or even better "thats were the last guy set up"

on the bright side no one was hurt, and at least he didnt start the year off on a bad foot,"if he still has  job that is

hope you all had good year and a better one in 2011

no the contractor is telling the operator that since we got you hooked to the wrecker and there is only a couple more yards to finish lets just do it." The last pump operator did it"

Todd you designed this website you must no it is possible to put all the pics in one reply like this

really dont understand accidents like this, looking at the site from the pics looked like he had plenty of other options for setups

and definitely too much mud on the driver side of the hopper, no way that outrigger could handle the weight.

I'm not really an idiot  I just play one at work. Probably too worried the mixer couldn't back down the street.

maybe he just needed that extra couple of feet to get the corner so he just layed it over

The reason this happened is because that guy has probably cheated & cut corners hundreds of times without incident or accident... until That one time... 

The operator is asking the contractor..... "What do you mean I have to go take a drug test?"
