​@Todd m Anything they ever teach in safety courses or site orientations is what he could have done. He clearly had enough intuition that this guy was inexperienced before the accident that he took out his phone to record him. He could have gotten out and spotted him before the young guy got himself into this scenario, he could have honked the horn in his machine to get his attention, he could have gotten out and ran to get in his eye line and signalled him to stop. Literally anything other than sit there and watch someone put themselves in a dangerous position and then say "saw that coming". There's a reason safety guys say "you see it, you own it." Well he saw it and made no effort to prevent it. He's just as responsible for this accident.

​@Todd m Well I can tell you that "not my problem" attitude would 100% not fly on many big sites these days, especially oil and gas ones. Safety isn't an individual responsibility. You see someone that needs a spotter especially someone inexperienced, you step in and help them, then if the drivers fine, he can tell you he's fine. Not many people say no to an extra set of eyes. Attitudes like that is why they keep adding more and more legislation, safety training, and paperwork because having personally been on sites where people died, when the big bosses start asking "What could everyone do to make this site safer?" Just observing "the stupidity unfolding in front of him" is a pretty stupid answer. Just my opinion though.

What do you expect him to do Mr. OSHA agent

Somehow the fault goes to the guy who said “saw it coming” 😂😂😂😂 Maybe learn how to do the job before doing it???? LMAO the kid doesn’t know how to ask for help? 😂😂😂

Use your radio/walkie talkies which every site should have unless it's run by an incompetent idiot who sees everything coming

I was thinking the same thing why didn’t you go help him out instead of watching him potentially get hurt

You know,people just want to watch somebody fail.

Maybe this particular operator had already made it clear they knew everything 🤔

We all could see this coming but most of us dont have the experience to get that machine somewhere safe

He was probably sick to death of tellin her

He probably did. And the boss was like “he’s fine don’t worry about it”

lmaoo yeah and nothing ever happens till they saw this video and weeks of free money for that "opperator"

you run up to that hoe and say something, hero. unless you are in line of sight of the operator there is no way you should be going near that accident. self preservation.

Bro bro my dad did that to me once where I was walking on joists above wall and one had a big dead eye if that’s what it’s called but he said he was looking at me from down below in front of the house sitting on top of the roof trusses he had cut and just saw me fall bc it broke my ass went straight down😭😭

My words exactly. Dude had 3 separate times/moves where i would have stopped and said something.

Sounds like a smart man.

my pappy used to say "learn to walk before you start to run". mistakes around heavy machinery can be fatal. train yourself before sitting in the driving seat of these iron behemoths

Smart man.

@@lordjaashin it’s about being a bigger person in those situations man, even if someone was being a cocky little shit. If you want to watch someone get seriously injured or killed be my guest. Doesn’t matter if the camera guy is a veteran or not he’s witnessing it happen, walk over and pull the guy out of the machine and tell him to take a break and explain the situation in a level headed manor. Guys like you are too full of an ego to be the bigger person though.

Thank you, and i hope more people see this comment. People SHOULD NOT be afraid to fuck up, it’s part of life. In order to perfect something you must first fail and try again time after time.

You dont learn like that! You learn in a sand pit where you literally cant tip over the machine

Would probably learn quicker if his co workers wanted to help him out too instead of filming his failures

It looked like he was actively trying to put it in that trench, every time he moved the bucket, he moved with the pivot of the rig as apposed to going against it so it actually supports the facking thing.

He’s lucky to have hands on training,,,but can be dangerous

Its a terrible world that we live in now where young folks just want to record otger folks messing up instead of helping

I agree with you guys, he might of been wrong honestly by saying he’s and experienced operator but as soon as saw him messing up you should of spoke and said something, not just stand there and record 🤦🏽‍♂️it’s called a fcking test for a reason, you need to test somebody first and then send him off to a REAL PROJECT! There’s some people that would even go out of their way to teach them if they know that he has no idea what he’s doing but there’s very few who would actually consider doing that.

From the outside it looks like they can’t handle the task and a potential hazard.

No shame in having a crack. Shame in just watching and not helping.

Yup thats people instead of step in and encourage n give advice videO n gloat when people fail thats not gonna make anything better verry low quality human being here least the kid is tryin

The only reason that never happened to me when I was breaking in was that more experienced men stopped me when I was doing wrong and taught me what to do instead of watching me fuck up.

Mabey he is like the 20 year old i work with that already knows everything and doesnt listen.

I get back to the site ready to lose my job and the guys standing there where like "man we seen you having a hell of a time but we knew you would figure it out" well i didn't... I didn't even ask about the 2 days pay I just left.

@@thecommenter6839 I was using excavators way back in the 60s. Did no one think to give you an operator's manual before even getting aboard? That is the first thing I always asked for. If one wasn't available I wouldn't operate the machine.

It was set half throttle and up on the flat that's fine we where full throttle everywhere in those slow machines but when I went down the hill I didn't know how to slow it down so I shut it off and down the side we slid😒. I later heard that they pulled it back up and the swing door broke and the forks bent so I might have been ok with an ass chewing but the embarrassment wasn't worth going back. And to top it off the other guys saw me having issues all day with the forks going too fast because the throttle was too high and they said "i would figure it out eventually".

You don’t let someone get in deep and then watch them destroy equipment and the job site. As a leader the leader is supposed to step in and do some damage control. Save the trench, the excavator and the kids life. Breaking glass is one thing but letting someone lay an excavator over is another. I hope OSHA sees this. They’ll investigate to see if the guy recording had an OSHA safety card. They’ll revoke it and probably write him a personal fine for allowing a dangerous situation to continue.

My dad taught me waaayyyy different lol. If he was teaching me to run a bobcat, front end loader, dump truck, semi, or any other equipment we had on our farm he’d let me get into situations like this. Saying the same shit these guys are saying, “hey watch what Riley’s about to do.” And if I got myself stuck he’d let me get myself out, if something broke in the process he’d teach me how to fix it then make my ass get the damn thing out. He started doing this with me at like 10. I’m 25 now and way better for it.
