I wonder how well it would've fared had they found tires the right size to fill the inside.

There was a non-zero chance of exactly what happened happening, chances are he was puckered up the whole time and ready to bail from the truck if so much as a hair on his arm twitched. The way that sucker rolled on its way down I'd bet he was done for if he rode it down, belted in or not. Arrath fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Jun 13, 2015 |

Dillbag posted:Why not just use the parking brake??? That's what I did the the master brake cylinder went in my 86 Renault Alliance poo poo box. Well, at least until that went too. Not having breaking power for more than 2 seconds and having to stop on hills really teaches you how to expertly manipulate first gear. Not all cars have hand levers for the parking/e brake. It's not so practical with floor pedal parking brakes with a hood-lever like release.

The duct tape was in the case for all of 12 minutes before someone nabbed it for their stash, right? Duct tape is like fuckin money in a crackhouse, I swear.

I'd argue that directly down the axis of travel (literally between the rails) of the big fuckoff train is exactly where you shouldn't be. I'd guess that the proper procedure is to gently bump into the next car and have a guy reach over the bumpers to attach the latch/collar thing he puts on, not have the train come flying in like that. But doing it right slows things down sooooo get in there, you big pussy.

Hot Karl Marx posted:As a professional pipe layer, the only real problem with this is the actual excavation. Spill pile should be a meter away from the edge and there isn't a trench box or any sloping. Also he should be back filling normal to the trench and not parallel. Plus you usually wanna put sand on top of the pipe but that might just be gas pipelines, I don't work with water or sewers much (looks like a water main). So its fine except that he's standing in a death trap But yeah fine gravel bedding is typically used, I haven't seen sand used on any pipe work (primarily water, sewer, utility, not much gas) I've been around but I'm usually done with my part of the work by the time the pipe layers show up.

It was super loving sad watching this big, strong, smart, funny guy waste away as the light went out of his eyes. He never drank or smoked, no family history. The docs believe it was due to long term exposure to nasty pesticides and other chemicals over his lifetime as a rancher, likely without any real protective gear pretty much ever. So yeah, put on the PPE when dealing with nasty chemicals.

I highly doubt they put that up themselves. It's probably a relic of some industrial site or a valley spanning tram line or radio antenna or who the hell knows, its Russia. But to run a cable like that popular methods include: Tying that bitch to a rocket and shooting it across as well as the much less metal "hook it to a helicopter and fly it over" and more mundane ways like "cut a path along the valley floor, pull the cable then tighten it"

Taeke posted:How does that mechanism work? Like, when you let go of the bar it stops? Because I can totally see someone panicking and keeping hold of the bar, or trying to pull themselves out with it... you know, until it's too late. Reading that OSHA thing one post up it appears that they stop the machine when the bar gets pushed forwards (towards the hungry maw of mechanical teeth) Actually the full OHSHIT mode of that top-bar only reverses the feed rollers, it doesn't say anything about braking or stopping the jaws of death.

It's still a good couple of feet at least from the top stair of the HD ladder to the platform above. So they built some intermediate steps out of whatever scrap wood was lying around.

GotLag posted:Do those emergency stops engage the brakes or do they just cut the power? Will they be able to tow it or will they have to cut that pillar? On all large construction equipment I've seen it shuts the motor down immediately. They'll probably just bypass the emergency shutoff to get it moved away. And then never fix it.
