Man that was funny as He!!... That had to have hurt when he smashed his grill into the edge of the ditch on his way to the bottom... The whole thing was priceless. From the fall, "you alright"....... "he's just fallen off the digga" to the temper tantrum and glove throwing. :falldownlaugh
Very glad he didn't get smashed. Then I wouldn't have been able to laugh...
Great find Dirtman!:usa

I'm embarrassed to admit thats the UK!

very funny though :)

It looks like a sheet of 3/4" ply so a lot stronger than you might be used to.

It all fits perfectly....its OSB with a couple of 2x6's on edge underneath for support - BECAUSE HE'S A CARPENTER, and we all know those knuckleheads think they know everything......:D

Man what a idiot group meeting! too bad they hire machines for anyone with money, this stupid gang could have got someone killed! it was a real close one! But i have to admit that i laughed a lot when he threw the gloves :D:D and kicked the bucket like it was the machine's fault :D

also the video with the backhoe on the breaking bridge was quite funny, but that could be a pro operator on a faulty bridge! but usually pro's see where they can go with their equipment without ending up on the side...

eeeh, the "weekend digger" video... i didn't know how to continue watching when the filming guy says *you got the right technique at least" :D:D
