No "remote control" needed, you simply pin both drive levers with something to stay in the forward position. You can see the operator standing next to the excavator at 0:00
That almost happened to me one time in a dozer. I was pushing dirt down the side of a mountain to feed it to the loader below. I got real close to the edge showing off. When the dirt fell away from my blade and all I saw was air all I could think was, you just f'ed up. I through the dozer in reverse and it slowly crawled backward up the hill to a flat plateau. When I got up on the plateau I got out of the dozer and shook for about 10 minutes.
As it starts tipping over the edge I see no one panicking in the seat, so I'm guessing it was empty, or the dude behind it had a control box wired to the excavator.
Because no one was in the cab driving the machine. The entire thing was staged. Another BS video. All of these comments.....see how easy it is to fool people?
No one on the planet uses equipment in that fashion. Unless it was either remote control and there was no one in the cab. Or it was in China. Take your pick.
Seems to me once it tilted toward no-man's land he should have tried to back up. He was still trying to move forward all the way until it slid over the edge.
Driver is the guy seen next to excavator, he got out and remote controlled it because in such situations it's dangerous to be behind the wheel.. unless you guys never seen a remote controlled excavator before 😅
Any descent equipment operator knows that an excavator will slide like it’s on ice when driven on any type of ledge or paved area with a slope. That guy was doomed before he turned the key on that thing.
“Any DESCENT equipment operator…” lol…you just made a pretty DECENT pun by accident 😂 Get it?…the equipment actually made one heckuva DESCENT LOL…I thought it was decently funny anyway
this is a remote vehicle that was at end of life. this was done on purpose, hence the camera guy in the right spot and happened to be filming. No one was hurt and it was good fun. The guy behind it with the remote is my cousin
dont tell bs to the people even at "the end of life" which is not even definable bc u can always repair anything that machine is worth a lot as long as u do not totally destroy it
This probably wasn't staged unless they purposely wanted it to look like an operator crashing to his death at first glance - which was what I initially thought happened, and if that's the case - NOT COOL. Being an operator, and having to operate in dangerous conditions, falling off a ledge to your death is our primary fear. Every time we have to make a difficult climb and crest over onto the top, or make an extremely steep descent - you had better believe puckering is going on. If they were going to matter of factly just crash it then the remote operator could have just turned it in place and crawled off.
There was no one in it, it was remotely controlled hence the guy in the back. If you screenshot and zoom in you can see the seat empty
@@hkmcbitspieces1521 the thing never even tried to stop didnt turn the big ass arm which should be in the back s u wouldnt run into things. these things can move 360.
I agree, no one in the seat Therefore remotely operated but still an expensive fail.
That sucks.
@@XXXTentaclezso an excavator should track backwards so a guy can’t see where he’s going?
There was a little puppy 🐶 in that seat 😱
Apparently, that’s how they get their boss to buy a new excavator
I would try it but he would fire me 😅
Otherwise they are told to F O
Yup. That was 1947 model
Not much point when ya can't operate it cause ya dead. 🤷♂🤦♂☠
@@28russIt was RC.
Good thing he had safety glasses on, you don’t want to get sand in your eyes, it hurts bad.
Well, hopefully he at least had on his seat belt, safety vest, and hard hat. If so, he survived that little fall with just a little dust in his eyes.
The safety manager was on a date, so I'm not sure if he had a safety halmet on or not
and a covid mask.
😂😂😂😂😂 💀
He never took off his mask even when he was alone, lol
If that wasn't remotely controlled, the fella' operating it would have been fired just prior to hitting the ground.
No "remote control" needed, you simply pin both drive levers with something to stay in the forward position.
You can see the operator standing next to the excavator at 0:00
Right before. Over
It was staged
Yeah his bosses would of dragged him out out of that digger after he hit the ground the give him a disapliary. Dangerous very dangerous.
Good plan, no workers comp.
Wow, that excavated quickly
Can't believe you didn't win the internet with that one!
Simply superb
Hahaha!
I see what you did there.
ha! 😂

Stop that.
*threw. 😂
@@joelanderos23 trew its threw
Praise the lord your alive mate. That shit sound terrifying.
I'll give it a 9.4, awesome roll and it stuck the landing.
perfect pancake 👍
Obvious trumpster
Being the excavator I can confirm that was totally unnecessary and a very hard drop. My back hurt for weeks.
How’s your arm doing?
lol. funny.
Because you didn't have your safety jacket on. Lol
ha ha so funny. 🤣🤣🤣 Someone lost a life there.🙄
@@netuserist I get what you're saying, and not saying I disagree, but do you have any idea how many people die every day? I think it's like 150,000.
If you zoom in where it landed, there was a small puddle of water there that cushioned the impact.
It was quite a soft landing , thank god for the water.
Video game physics
And a young soft shrub.
no worries, it'll buff out
Did it save the puppy ?
not sure if the remote operator was just clueless or was giving it its last run before sending it to the scrapyard.
I think he was just thinking.....Send it.
I want to know how they even got the excavator onto that ledge in the first place 😅
Smooth operator, smooth operatoor 🎷🎼🎵
no need to ask,smooooth....operatoooor..... 👊
It was remotely controlled by the dude walking behind it. Made to look like someone was inside. Definitely a big bang.
I think that guy works for me now...
No I don't. 😊
Boss: We don't need a new one. Operator: We do now!
This is why hard hats , safety glasses & steel toes are important.
Extraordinary. Really nice 3 point landing though, I'd give it a 6 cause of the splash there at the end.
4 faults for the failed back-flip on the way down though.
He just got the wind knocked out him. He'll be back in seat as soon as the boss gets another excavator.
That’s why I always wear helmet ⛑️ in cars 🚗 too 😂😂
As it starts tipping over the edge I see no one panicking in the seat, so I'm guessing it was empty, or the dude behind it had a control box wired to the excavator.
I hope he had his Safety Sandles on 🤣
And his orange vest
Insurance Job ,that’s how you do it 🤙
That would have been a good super dave stunt.
If only he had a camera on ...he would have survived.🤣
then explain that girl recording video on top of grenfell tower before it burnt down
bro its almost 2024 now, cameraman doesnt survive everything no more, shut
His wife kept telling him if he is late for dinner then he would get none. He took the short way down.
Good thing the excavator operator was wearing an orange vest, steel-toed boots and his safety glasses otherwise he might have gotten hurt.
Safety first
Did his puppy have a fluorescent vest on ?
Darn, now insurance is going to have to buy me a new excavator.
Guy did an excellent job filming bravo
How did it get up there, and what a strange spot to build a high rise.
It's Not the fall that hurts...it's the Landing !!
My question is: “when you see that one trak is gone and not giving any grip why the hell you decided to move forward???”
it was driving by itself.. or remotely controlled, clearly
@@siecieh However in both cases I don’t understand why he decided spontaneously to trow an excavator down from a mountain!
Because no one was in the cab driving the machine. The entire thing was staged. Another BS video. All of these comments.....see how easy it is to fool people?
@@lorenzoghinelli7018...my guess that excavator was old and headed to the scrap yard anyways so it really didn't matter...just a guess
@@lorenzoghinelli7018Intentionally giving up old gear. Not uncommon … hence the cam!
No, I was operating it that day. I paraglided out on the way down. You just can't see it because of the dust cloud. Bond. James Bond....😅
damn, imagine being in that, no chance. Glad it was remote.
Maybe that was the easiest way to get it off the mountain. Then pick up the pieces at the bottom.
@@velvetbees bingbing bong bong 2024
When he borrowed that digger off his mate, he promised he would look after it and not break any switches or levers.
I promise not to put a scratch on it ,when I bring it back I promise 😁😁😁😁

The guy just misunderstood the boss when he said "take the elevator to the bottom floor to get your paycheck."
leave the jokes to the experts that was really bad
@@351clevelandmodifiedmotor4 Check out the competition...
Thank God Tom Cruise was in that instead of his stunt double.
Don't worry guys, I managed to walk out of this one, in one piece 😀
I knew it, lol
💪🥃

It is China! But Intentionally RC’d down.
@@GanymedeXD
Guess I'm batting
1,000.
Like a boss. Sometimes those guys are so skilled, they make the impossible look possible.
a little Turtle Wax and that should buff out
That was me guys! I'm alright! I had my seatbelt on! Safety first, first-aid last...
Seems to me once it tilted toward no-man's land he should have tried to back up. He was still trying to move forward all the way until it slid over the edge.
Ya, really dumb
I was in that excavator, my back hurt for days
🤣🤣 good one, lol
Lier
@@ellieprice3396 that was a joke homie
Insurance job... He did that on purpose. 💯💯💯
Still waiting for insurance to cover.
Yeah … giving up old gear!
Definitely controlled by the guy behind.
Definitely intentional.
The excavator will be missed but not forgotten🙏
RC operation definitely.. pretty impressive though 🇬🇧😁💪👍
Kinda risky tho. If it kept rolling after impact it could have fairly easily hit the building, unless it was being demolished too.
Optimus sends his condolences.
That's a kick-ass way to hand in your notice - awesome !
It was supposed to transform into Autobot in the mid -air .
someone is going to get yelled at.
dont worry, no women were hurt
Proper air pressure in the tires is crucial!!
Man that thing needed a grease job!!! Thing sounded like my ex wife when she got back from the bar…
Looks like Wile E. Coyote was operating it.
As long as he landed in softened dirt he's going to makeca speedy recovery
The next day, he was working as a trainer. Lol
You fired !
Thats one way to get a new machine
Driver is the guy seen next to excavator, he got out and remote controlled it because in such situations it's dangerous to be behind the wheel.. unless you guys never seen a remote controlled excavator before 😅
It was intentionally brought to take a dive. Quite obvious.
Perfect landing.
That remote operator should get a raise for Ingenuity the boss told him " I dont care if its up high on a mountain I want it down right now!!" 😂
That’s gonna leave a mark.
This is how WhistlinDiesel should destroy his excavator he has for years now.
Good work all done for the day!
Super Dave Osborn excavator stunt . At the end he'd climb out of the wreckage , dust himself off and be good to go .
😂😂😂😂😂😂 OMG..... if you hear closely you can hear the excavator saying AHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH 😊
He wasn't wearing his safety glasses.😮
That was a big fall, it was in the air a while
Thankfully you had a seat belt on
And that's why we have hard hats and hi Vis.
How did it reach there in the first place?
Insurance claim
Ahhhhh Dave, we need another excavator and operator.
The operator is still standing on the cliff!
Any descent equipment operator knows that an excavator will slide like it’s on ice when driven on any type of ledge or paved area with a slope. That guy was doomed before he turned the key on that thing.
What guy?
“Any DESCENT equipment operator…” lol…you just made a pretty DECENT pun by accident 😂
Get it?…the equipment actually made one heckuva DESCENT LOL…I thought it was decently funny anyway
Hence the remote control operator brought it down there … intentionally …
I was piloting that machine, I can confirm that falling from like 10 stories was quite painful I still have broken glass in my throat to this day
Forgot to mention that Your 6 feet under.
@@linusmadroneright no one could survive that
@@RetroreviewsPlusI'm not so sure. I would have wanted to survive that, talk about PTSD.
“Hello Mr George, no good operator”
I wouldn't fancy being in that tower block next to such a cliff
Confused how they thought this was going to end any other way
They intended what happened … old machinery not worth recovering.
As a retired, 30 year excavator operator I can say this is totally fake.
How to get a new excavator and pay nothing, except the past huge insurance payments! But, hey, it’s new. Carry on! 👍
Metal tracks on pure rock is like being on ice. Unfortunate death.
Death?
Nobody died … RC controlled … intentional descend.
The camera man was displaying his skills that day.
He scored a 100% for getting the excavator to the bottom of the hill quickly
If you screenshot and zoom in you can see the seat empty, it was remotely controlled. There was no one in Excavator.

My dad's a TV repair man. He's got an ultimate set of tools. I CAN FIX IT!
Even with a helmet, the operator's head would ache for months
"That's gotta hurt."
It’ll buff right out and be as good as new by tomorrow
Send me some of your buffing compound sounds like a quality product.
The excavator left a final note to Blippi.
Amazing all the strange things people drum up when one can clearly see the truth - It was empty of life ( No Human, No Animal ).
Obviously … and intended dive. Calmly filmed!
Is a RC.
they were recording it, so they knew what they were doing 😏
Maybe this was a movie stunt?
@@MoneyManHolmesNope intentionally giving up old gear!
That was... AWESOME!
He just kept it going puposely
Roche + Chaîne = Ski assuré
OSHA would have a field day with this!
He's going to be alright. Just shaken up
I'm licensed to operate heavy equipment and this piece of equipment is being controlled remotely. The tractor is actually old and out dated.

It was being driven remotely by the guy standing behind it, who was likely fired shortly after.
That was obviously intentional!
