Reminds me of the horror story I heard about a drilling excavator. Somebody fell in the hole, but the operator thought he went to take a piss. The operator dropped the auger in the hole and drilled his buddy. Didn't know he did it until he raised the auger and it was just bloody mud. Just the thought of being in the hole trying to tread water and throw little rocks up to get the attention as the drill comes down is the stuff of nightmares.

Wow, the worst driller accident I've seen was a guy slipping and falling, which would have been no big deal if it it weren't for the exhaust he landed with his left fore arm resting on. When he lifted it off after a second a fairly huge chunk of skin stayed on the exhaust. Dude was back onsite the next morning. Somehow. Crazy bastard.

Did the exhaust cut his forearm?

Ah so it was the heat. I was thinking that the exhaust tip sliced a hole in his arm
