Those look perfect for a landscaping business here in Vegas. Just enough rear end to plant some cacti and agaves, small enough to load on the flatbed without needing to bring the full size bobcat.

The construction site next to my work location brought in the next size up from that smallest Komatsu to dig inside part of their site that was in a historic building that was going to remain standing, so the walls all stayed in place and it was tight quarters. I thought it was the cutest little digger, but then they brought in an even tinier one that was too small for someone to sit on and was operated by remote control, and that turns out to be the cutest little digger.

We have a similar sized unit with a jackhammer at work on a wired remote for safety as it's used to remove bricks in a very tight space (a smelter converter)

We always just drew on folks with sharpies when they passed out at parties. Taking them tandem skydiving and waking them up mid-jump is some next level stuff.

Bert Kriescher tells a story about doing a tandem skydive where he's strapped into the dude and when the door opens he's like "uhh I no longer want to do this, abort abort abort". The dude he's strapped to just picks him up and Baby Bjorn's him to the door like "oh we're doing this".

Yeah the closeness of the ground in bungee jumping wasn't cool, for me. Parachuting you kind of feel like you've got a long way down to fix things if there's a fuckup, regardless of how accurate the feeling is.

The crawling to the door part maybe, but once you're there you don't have a choice. The instructor will just bodily throw the two of you out no matter how loud you scream.

Skydiving is pretty rad and it's neat how the feeling of falling is completely tied to acceleration. You get the falling sensation for the first 5 seconds or so, then you hit terminal velocity and quit accelerating and your brain goes "oh, huh, I guess we're fine now" and it's just windy.

Kinda expensive to learn, too, but 30 bucks for a lift ticket once you have your own parachute and stuff is really not bad

This is the dramatic moment a driver survived after being electrocuted when steel bars loaded on the back of his truck touched overhead power cables.

The trucker, Piya Wattana, was delivering the construction materials to a warehouse in Phuket, southern Thailand, when they snagged on the lines at a traffic light. He had his pet cat inside the cabin - which also survived.

CCTV footage shows the driver suddenly realising his vehicle is stuck and tries to jump out of the cabin.

However, as he leaves he is engulfed in a ball of sparks from the electric shock but miraculously survives and rolls away with minor burns.

Speaking after, he said: "I stopped my truck to wait for the red light, and when I was about to go, I heard a loud noise. I could feel the truck was stuck so I jumped out as quickly as I could.''

Piya was able to escape the truck, but the sparks burned his feet and arms.

His frantic colleagues also escaped from the vehicle and hurried on the safe side of the road to shout for help.

Onlookers rushed to rescue the driver but the tire exploded, causing everyone to run away from the blast.

The injured driver rolled himself on the side of the road where passersby tended to him, while nearby shop owners extinguished the fire.

The District Electricity Authority cut off the electric power after the locals reported the incident.

The emergency unit rushed to the scene, giving the injured driver first aid before transferring him to the nearby hospital.

Glad to see they took him to a hospital even if he only reported minor burns, old mate needs his heart properly checked out after that.

The instructor I had gave me three chances to back out, one of which was at the door when we were both sitting ready to push off.

Later that summer I did a ropes course with a short auto-belay down to the ground. Jumping off of that was way harder for me mentally than getting pushed out of an airplane by a dude with a parachute.
