I would love to show this video at the mine I work at, I am a dozer operator on a refuge impoundment and see first hand how even experienced operators can make mistakes that could have very easily costed lives.

thats why you never turn up a slope. it sucks this guy had to learn the hard way. btw a d6 has less ground pressure than a loader.

I think we've all done something to this effect. You make a judgment call that feels right with little or no time to think and it comes back to bit you. Feel bad for this guy.

You gotta have a feel for this sort of thing to appreciate the huge steel cajones this guy has... I like big tonka toy machinery, it's a guy thing I guess. I had less than 4 seconds when I rolled but for just a moment I thought what he thought it's just that I didn't have the time... I rode it out and ended up with nothing more than a banged up elbow. Huge respect for this man being able to sit in front of the camera and I hope he understands his story may save someone's life.
