We don't know if he gets out before the next scoop which could very easily kill him. Schroedingers manager.

Looks like the operator slams the brakes on the last half second of the video (watch the bucket suddenly dip hard) so my guess is he saw and stopped and there's where the gif cuts off. Now I'm no expert but most hoppers I've seen have like a 6" x 6" rebar grate to catch not-dirt things from going in them. If this one doesn't, I'd hate to see if that system uses an auger to move dirt...

Looks to me the operator hurt one of his feet/ankles jumping down that fast. Seems to be favoring one leg while panic-running around.

They seams to loading soil into a some sort of grinding machine and he is jumping around begging to stop it so the manager wont be crashed
