So I assume the 100m warning on this mulcher is how far away from it you should be at all times. Even when it is not running.

Would they of actually been safe behind that blast shield?

Never has a "Vat da gently caress?!?" been so appropriate. That would have gone through them if it had hit them.

Also, you can swap it between trucks if one is out for repairs which you can't do with the usual hirail setup.

It's simple, elegant and easy to use.

I love specialty equipment which has so obviously been designed by someone who knew what they were doing.

The only thing that is missing to make it perfect is way for it to somehow transform into a handcart if the tiny truck is busy doing something else.

When you gently caress up like this, they make charts and graphs to illustrate just how bad. Interesting that they blank out all of the names, I guess it is the errors that happened in general and not blaming people that makes reports like this so interesting.

I read somewhere that in long meetings, the CO2 levels in a conference room get high enough to cause cognitive impairment. Which explains a lot of the meetings I've been in.

Rapids / hydraulics within rapids DO NOT gently caress around. On the bottom of many rapids in those kinds of rivers is a tangled mess of tree branches and poo poo just waiting to entrap your foot or something, at which point many white water rafting guides shift tactics from rescue to body retrieval.

Also check out hydraulic jumps because they look calm and serene and will kill you and your friends trying to rescue you.
