I rolled a push pull over, we rolled it back on its wheels and drove off

I met a semi hauling a D-6C on a highway in 2005. Just after he went past me on a long curve the D-6 came off the right side of his trailer blade first at +/- 60 mph. The cat blade took the entire side off the road for about 100 feet throwing road debris in the air before it dug in and threw the cat up in the air and it came down sideways cab first in the opposing lane of the highway. The ROPS canopy dug in to the road and it stopped violently, there were batteries and pads and broken rollers strewn everywhere, everything that could break off that Cat did but the ROPS canopy held up. No one was hurt no thanks to the idiot truck driver who only had the cat cross chained at the back thinking the blade would gravity hold it on the front end. Private guy hauling his own bulldozer.

"VEE-HICLE"

No rops on the dozer

Hey my friend had been in the business 47 years been close but never had one go over best thing to do know get that fucking hard on and have ader good luck

Qué desafortunado caso, Un saludo

He sure would be a lot better than all the other presidents we’ve had

Not

Hopes and love.

Looks to be no material damage to the cat? That fuel cell had to be heavy…

Ouch! I hope he makes it.

Absolutely no way in hell I'd be up on that bench without a windrow in place

dang, he must have been hauling axx

Even with a seat belt he would still have inquires with the multiple rollovers. I rollover a cat 621 on its side and still go brushed wearing a seat belt.

ROPS-POPS.

He is lucky to be alive. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.

I've been operating for 30 plus years and done all sorts of great (what some would call dangerous, I call awesome) ass puckering jobs. I've never flipped a machine, been stuck in many precarious angles but if you roll a machine that size your a dickhead. I filled a huge gut with 60,000 cube of over burden. First push every morning, get to the edge, on an old D9G no cab, stop before the edge, walk up over the bonnet and look down the fill. One morning after rain the whole underside had slipped into the pond, if I'd pushed out over the edge it would have slumped. So wakey wakey hand off snakey.

I watched a CAT pipelayer crawler flip backwards off the tail of a lowbed trailer because the driver didn't empty his bags. The entire weight of the crawler landed on the roll bar and was supporting the entire machine, with the operator lying on his back in the gravel with the machine above him and nearly upside down and tracks in the air.

Looks like it rolled once.

That rops sucked

That's why ice skates are made out of steel. You don't get sideways on a slope when it's slick. Stuff lie this will happen. If someone runs equipment any length of time they'll have stories to tell about stuff like this. I sure do. Glad the operator is all right.

The operators booth is not built strong enough to sustain the weight of a roll over ????? Was this fellow harnessed in ???

Never a good idea to get yourself side on, bad things happen in these big heavy machines

Going forward or reverse a dozer has excellent traction. Sideways no traction whatsoever. Hope he made out ok.

Looks like Komatsu needs to redesign it's ROPS cab.

you can clearly see why the cab got crushed , it has no roll over protection bars on it .

According to the reporter, “ He did a turn and got sideways “ that was his mistake. When dozing near a vertical you better have enough material in front of you, and near the face of the vertical that the material will keep you from going over.You never want to loose that pile that’s keeping you safe. Once he turned on this greasy material, it was all over.

I've ran many of dozers in my time.from a cat D-3 all the way up to a D-10.yeah they will slide with you.ive pushed hard clay with a old D-8h on a hillside and slide down the hill while doing it.gotta know what your doing is and be safe doing it.

I pray for him and his family.

@0:46 It is OPERATING - not driving...

I don't see a rops on the machine Komatsu has a big rops I see no signs of rops

This happened before, Caterpillar made a safety video including this accident, which a D9 dozer is working too close to the cliff edge and it rolled over.

Hope the operator survived . I rolled a TD20 years ago did 2 1/2 rolls and rode it to the bottom . I was fortunate to only have laceration on back of head and acid burns from the batteries . All due respect to the operator and i wasn’t there so don’t know for sure but one observation i make looking at this accident and speaking from 45 years experience on bulldozers and other heavy equipment is the rippers on this machine still appear to be in the raised position . When working on any steep slope its good practice to have your rippers just clear of the ground and when a slip does happen lower them into the ground . This can do two things . Possible stop the slide or keep machine strait preventing roll over . Seat belt is a must . It would also appear that proper above car roll protection bar was not fitted to this dozer . I could be wrong in all points and hope operator survived

My father was a earthmoving contractor who had 2 cat scrapers, a d4 and d7 cat dozer's and the stories of utter terror he told about seeing 👀 other contractor's, that got seriously injured and killed due to either lack of experience, knowledge and taking dangerous risks with these machines, is a big NO, NO.

daaa duh the veehikele really lol

back up then turn ive been running H.E. for 38 years never had a close call it's so dangerous

Well done , I have operated many of these , and yes they slide like there is no stopping them once they do

Seen what it looks like when a dozer falls off a ledge myself

Looks like the ROPs needs to be upgraded.

"Shake hands with danger"

Seat belt or not the top is sitting on the seat

Yes, seat belts 💺 on big cats 🐈 do save lives, now if you can convince horse 🐎 riders a belt from the saddle seat back to your pants belt will hold you from being ejected when the 1,500 pound animal wants to stop. That's how Christopher Reeves, AKA SUPERMAN, was ejected and eventually died.

I had a dozer take off on a frozen slope before, it happens quick.

Anyone know if the op survived?

Vehicle? I would call it a machine.

He's extremely lucky he got ejected if not I think he would've definitely been dead!!🙏

These dozers aren't anything to mess around with. I hope the gentleman is ok.
