When he was looking to spin round he could of put it down... would of stopped that happening - if he was going up and over heap and sitting half on the heap at other side you might have gone over it with blade that way round so you could use it the other side but could of done lots of it differntly................just showed a lack of nouse all round really.

I thought I was all for Darwin theory but the screaming at the end wasn't nice to hear. Perhaps I just need to toughen up. Can see how war affects people

Have to agree with you there, wasn’t nice to hear, think that it’s more down to the fact that we appreciate how dangerous plant can be in the wrong hands, and knowing what was going to happen before it actually did. Was only saying the same thing to someone after I’d seen this clip about the screaming.

Just a shame no one ever manages to hold a camera still 🙈

Could see that from a long way off was a stupid mistake

Looks nasty, if it weren’t too old is there a warranty claim there, looks like the weld has separated from the base metal . Or were. They doing something they shouldn’t :oops:

Well out of warranty,plus as soon as you start using them you've pressed the 'self destruct' button!
Doing something they shouldn't,but was regular done,just gripping with the bottom jaws when piles also been hammered in,600+ blows with 5.5 t hammer and you can end up ripping top of pile tube off...or bottom of vibrator casing
Put a quick end to our dayshift which cost....lots

Well on that job,which was already behind,priced wrongly,it meant 12 hour shift on railway,no piling done,so that then went forward to the next week,when track relaying was planned n ole works,so we were in everyone's way,
Was quite good though,supervising the piling,turning up to full on re lay underway,asking their supervisor to move.....engineering train,360 'bugs' n dozer n trackmen so we could get out of siding,been told to......making one phone call n hey presto,everyone moved for us,another client peed off through ppplanning
