I wonder if the driver had a seat belt on, they may have been too busy trying not to leave through the windscreen to retain any control.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
Typical flannery seat filler with no experience, how high was his bucket to get that much track in the air. Was he splattering concrete in from a great height and across his tracks. Any decent up would have manoeuvred so at least at 45 degrees to pour and truck for more stability.

I also position myself while waiting for wagon make a little pad, go through arm movements etc pick a fill position and check range of pour etc then when it’s full you go extended out low akways ready to pull back or dump some of it gets a bit light on the bum
spot on .... if it's iffy, keep it low and be ready to react ... have had the 'Drema's arse lofted regularly, but not 'cos the load was 8ft in the air when it got too much, but trying to get as much as poss. with the load just floating close to the deck

My thoughts were P45 for driver unless there is something we don't know about ,pull back onto tracks and crack on with the job .in the sixties and seventies we had a few mishapt like scaper flipping over or dump truck rolling over top of batter it was change of pants time and crack on
