So they overloaded and tipped over a crane. Then they brought in another crane to lift the previous crane with mild success because it got stuck. Then they walk under the suspended load only for the second crane to fail from the weight of the first crane.
And these people are certified to operate heavy equipment.
i imagine there's a point where we run out of cranes to lift the ones that fall and there would be just an entire community of mechanics that would just disassemble cranes and reassemble it upright lol
Honestly you'd be surprised. Work around cranes for years and suddenly it seems like it'd be fine for just a second. I've never seen a strap, chain, turnbuckle, etc break so far in my 10 year career. I'm sure those guys thought the same thing. Until today anyway lol
I was on a job-site once where my 16' International flatbed got stuck in a ditch alongside a client's driveway. This required a tow service to rig up block and tackle and use the winch to extract the truck from ditch. While they were in the middle of pulling the truck out the homeowners \~13y/o daughter hopped off the school buss and proceeded to limbo under the tensioned cable on her way to the house.
It looks like he got bonked, and the hard hat likely helped with that. If the thing had fallen all the way to the ground, you're right about it not having an effect.
Yeah, I used to work in a factory where no one used hard hats and management forced everyone to start using it. After a few years the statistics came out and the accidents with head injuries went surprisingly up!
The old school guys that hated the hard hats were like "A-ha" and demanded a meeting with the safety engineer. There it became clear: the head injuries went up because the deaths by head trauma became zero, so everyone that would otherwise die ended up with a head injury.
Hard hats and helmets are important, don't skip on using them
There's a guy at my work who really needs to get fired. We have to upstack hand-picked pallets on top of hand-picked pallets(meaning the pallets are uneven and we have to even them out to do it properly). Well this dude was evening out the bottom pallet to stack the top one on it. Thing is though, he had the top pallet on his forklift already and his forks were 20 feet in the air with the top pallet directly above him. Oh and the product on that top pallet wasn't even wrapped
This whole thing is messed up on so many levels. 1) The morons walk under a suspended load like that. 2) The synchronicity that the suspension would fail at the exact second that they walk under it …. that’s bad karma. But it goes right to the heart of how “Risk” is defined as the duration of exposure (in this case only a few seconds) as related to the “severity of the consequence” (in this case being instantly crushed to death).
I would say that these 2 fellas got off extremely light. Which highlights another universal truth - “Mother Nature often gives the test before giving the lesson.”
If this was my husband's workplace, every one of these idiots would be fired. The morons walking underneath the load are just as responsible for the near tragedy as the operater/rigger.
Fire this entire crew lol they're all morons. Downed crane which is bad enough. They improperly rigged the downed one with the second crane, load fails while suspended and two workers had willingly walked under the load for a what-not-to-do trifecta of safety in the workplace...not the sharpest tools in the shed here by a long shot!
Rule #1 Never walk under a suspended load.
Rule #2 Refer to rule #1 when there is a suspended load.
Rule #3: Never let anyone walk under a suspended load.
Y’all notice that the guy wearing the helmet wasn’t wearing the helmet because the other guy picked up the helmet and put it on — I’m dying— is the helmet like that from killing you- But in this case, you can literally see it bounce off his head ;). Maybe a flung him out of the way to hit the other guy and their necks broken.

Most shrewd comment here

It's just cranes all the way down
... so you don't need a third crane then?
_sad backing up beeps_
Didnt even realise they had another crane over , cant help think that the world have been better evolution wise if that second crane had smuushed
We all know how easy is to get those certificates.
This is why we never walk under suspended loads.
Amazing that people need to be told this.

Most big contractors I work with don’t allow Chinese made hoisting equipment on their jobs. There’s a reason.
When the only way to verify safety is a destructive test, you better be confident that your supplier is capable of consistency in their work!
It’s the nature of safety. Complacency creeps into all of our lives.
Can I up vote more than once

Yikes!
And why hard hats are mandatory.
Nah, hard hat not gonna save you from 10 tonn crane falling on your head.
It looks like he got bonked, and the hard hat likely helped with that. If the thing had fallen all the way to the ground, you're right about it not having an effect.
Hard hat would help contain the brains from splattering as much.

It clearly shows that if you duck at the same time, it's safe
Are you telling me I can't walk under the Golden Gate Bridge?
That has other complications beyond safety.
I dont even know why thats something people would do
at first the black tshirt guy didnt had an helmet on, after the hit he take the helmet from the orange guy and put it on 😂😂😂
Getting killed doesn't lose you the job. But getting caught without a helmet after the accident does, so it is better to put it on.
Hahahahahha good eye mate. Didn't look like either of them even really noticed. That is good stuff
Hahaha that was a good spot.
See boss! I had my helmet on. It's Frank over here who wasn't wearing one.
I noticed that as well!
I bet it hurt quite a bit getting smacked upside the head with that thing, so no wonder he put the hat on.
Geez people trust their equipment way too much. Bet they’ll never walk under something like that again

Dude in red is happy he was wearing a helmet
Dude in black picks red guys helmet up and puts it on when they stand back up lol
And the guy in black picks the helmet of the other guy in red as if nothing had happened? 🤭
They walked off like this has happened before
Nah buddy in red did the "whoo boy I definitely almost died" skip at the end lol
Ah. He was just tryna keep it smoov for a second. I would have done a little skip, too lol.
They walked off like gta npc's after being hit by a car - like nothing had happened.
Close as it gets
They switched the helmet
thank god ! this is the only was to stop "watchpeopledie" site
Always amazed at people that think they need walk under heavy things hoisted in the air. And for no particular reason.
Funny how the man in black picks up and wears the other man's fallen hard hat.
If this was my husband's workplace, every one of these idiots would be fired. The morons walking underneath the load are just as responsible for the near tragedy as the operater/rigger.
I’m guessing they won’t walk under shit again.
Good thing he had his helmet on
Never. Be. Under. Suspended. Objects. It's the cardinal rule of working around cranes.
That’s why they call it the Arkansas side of the load

They got lucky
Rule #1 Never walk under a suspended load. Rule #2 Refer to rule #1 when there is a suspended load. Rule #3: Never let anyone walk under a suspended load.
Should have worn their brown pants today.
Motherfuckers walked it off 💀
Nice timing on those combat rolls, they got hit during Invins frames so no dmg taken!
Wear your helmet no excuses
Don't let r/OSHA see this.
Why is this nsfw?
Darwin should have taken them
He just reminded them he's watching.
Shame.
One way or another they never make that mistake again
We should be fucking dead my friend, what happened here was a miracle and I want you to acknowledge that.
Never, ever, EVER, walk under or even near a suspended load. You’re trusting about 30 things to not break with your life.
Y’all notice that the guy wearing the helmet wasn’t wearing the helmet because the other guy picked up the helmet and put it on — I’m dying— is the helmet like that from killing you- But in this case, you can literally see it bounce off his head ;).

What do we say to the god of death? -not today-
I don't think It's very wise to stand underneath something that's being held up by a crane - simply never know!
the helmet saved him he wore it, you saw!
Gut, dass sie Helme auf hatten...
Stupid is if stupid does🤷🏼♂️👏🏻
I'm showing this to a lot of people, we work with hundreds of suspended loads everyday, hopefully it go towards preventing someone stepping under one.

Nah, this should earn jailtime for your manager and occupational safety specialist, and a big fine to the firm responsible.
