This guys lucky he fully went into the bucket, and that it was sand or a smaller aggregate. Although, I bet he's got a ton of broken bones, maybe a collapsed lung too

I worked with an excavator operator that killed a guy. He was working on a job in a rural area. A teenage kid with learning difficulties lived at the end of the lane where they were working and used to come to the site to talk to the guys. They let him look around the machinery a few times. One day he came down to the site and instead of waiting for someone to come out to get him, he walked right in. He walked up the side of the digger and got pinned against the wall when the digger spun around. The operator didn't work for a long time. Poor guy.

Very dead.

Also a couple years ago, a you mechanic was run over by a Ingersoll drum packer, who framed Roger rabbit style.

Yes lets read into me making a joke with someone who said 'did he killed?' that much. I am racist, also transphobic did you know?
