Be Careful Out There, People!

This happened yesterday, and it wasn't on my job. From what I could tell, the pick was way heavy and it flipped. The climber rigged the sling much too low, and the crane operator didn't see it because he said he couldn't see what was going on. Hmmmm. That, combined with (what I think) the boom being too much for the outriggers, caused the accident. This guy just put this crane together a month ago. Those fellas are in a world of hurt right about now.

Wow - nice shots..

Just goes to show you, you need to know what you're doing with cranes.

Any idea how much damage was done to the property?? Will be a nice insurance claim i'm sure.

Glad to hear everyone waled away ok, could have been much much worse.
