Couldent agree more with this comment. I as well work in construction. At least no body was hurt. And for the jerks in the office counting the guys out there . Go back to your computers!
This is funny but. I've actually had this happen to me. We always had a rope attached to a kill switch after this happen a few times. But now they have a safety switch that is sensitive when it gets away from someone now to cut off and is required on commercial pours
The guy talking is making fun of them when he could probably do no better at stopping it. But on the other hand, it's hilarious what he's saying. So I don't know whether to hate or like this guy lol.
really funny but these guys are talking like they would have stopped it so easy, if you mock a bunch of construction workers obviously you arent happy with your own salary, im sure they make
Real men are intellectual therefor are doing all the complicated work in the office while the other men are outside slapping concrete on the floors. . . and failing at it lol
Besides there is obviously a mechanical failure those "floor buffers" actually a power trowel, have a centrifugal shut off to avoid that exact problem. If you have ever had a trowel with a sticky clutch hit you you would probably look like those guys did trying to stop it. Even so it was funny, i just wish those krispy kreme eating office boys didnt think they are superior intellects.
I pour concrete, and use these machines. When this began, before the throttle was somehow bumped up, it only needed to be grabbed. How do you think that we run these machines on full throttle, if they rip our arms off? You do know that the handles are for your hands?
Why are they just standing there? The throttle is barely up on it too! It would barely move if someone would just grab it! Crazy. It is not a buffer either, it is a motor trowel. If it was throttled all the way up it would really be a disaster!
Isn't construction equipment supposed to have safety mechanisms built in? I just wonder why there wasn't a functional brake that should have become operative when the operator turned loose of the machine.
I know you should'nt laugh at a potentially very dangerous situation but the running commentary was brilliant, you guys should give up your day jobs and become script writers!
