David Anthony: Very correct. I work for United and I don't like running these machines out because of idiots like this. I promise you United could care less, they are here for the BUCK!
Fish-Squatch Angling the bucket is too close to the ground, he would still hit the ground even with the harness. But yes, he should be wearing a harness anyway
Miriam Mejia no the harness is to prevent you from hitting the ground! Of course you are going to go flying when u drop off a 2 foot ledge like that . He’s a moron that has no clue how to operate that machine
I've had some wild experiences in much bigger versions of this piece of equipment myself. but man you are obviously going to get hurt doing that. Some of them drive quite fast when the boom is at just the right angle. If you take a turn too hard you can throw yourself out that way too. I have never been thrown out of one but I've definitely had a few sweaty experiences learning to drive one on very uneven Terrain.
Ahhh...the temptation of being the cameraman to just stay quiet when you could have warned the subject of impending doom. "He'll be FIIIINE," You say to yourself. Pfft.
Risk management was not used that day that's for sure...Lol...heavy machine is no fun and games. but after hearing the camera man laugh, I couldn't help it by laughing to. :D
The scary part is that you don't know how much you will be launched, so you don't know whether to let go and just land on your feet or hold on for dear life because if not you are getting catapulted
1 Why wasn't the guy wearing a harness? I hope this man is alright. 2 He should have worn a harness and 3 he should have put some ramps under the machine. If the lift over turned, he would be thrown out, possibly crushed and definitely severely injured excluding the other people who could have been hurt.
😢😮😅 looks like he's coming off a barge from the water. There should be a little ramp there and that wouldn't have happened. That wasn't a good idea to have that come off a thing like that. People got to think of machine safety when they operate a machine. Boy he could have really got hurt if he went up higher and came down hard thank you.
Definitely not someone I would want on my jobsite. I’m sure there will be plenty of critics on this, but yes. None of these lifts were made to operate like this guy did. However, as someone already wrote, there should have been ramps. Even just a dirt ramp. Option B, if you ABSOLUTELY MUST drive over something like this(not sure how that would ever be the case, but anyway)he should have used the override switch, so that he could have still driven while hanging 90 degrees straight out the side. The action would have been almost none in comparison, when the tires dropped down. And last, worst option, that still would have been better than what he did, would have been to swivel 180 degrees, instead of 90. Then when the tires dropped, as long as he had the boom high enough to not smash into the ground, it would have been the opposite action as the ‘catapult’ effect he experienced. But hey, you can’t fix stupid.
That's pretty good advice, if I ended up in this situation idk that I would have thought of ground controls. I'll try to keep that in the back of my mind. But hopefully I never need to do something this unsafe.
Hope the guy recording got fired for not preventing this it could of went a million times worse I used to operate these boom lifts and I heard so many story's of people getting catapulted from them cuz they weren't certified like they were supposed to be in the first place although it's hilarious I am glad it didn't go as bad as it could of been.
Rebecca Molloy , a cherry picker is a smaller crane with a large round steel ball painted red attached to the cable used to lift material. Just ask anyone that has been in construction over the past 50 years or so.
One beeper ok, but the multiple beepers going off were an indication that you are about to get fucked!!! Never ignore the beeps man. Never ignore the beeps

I’m sure united rentals loves seeing their equipment treated that way. Lol what a great operator!

Screw united rentals.
As long as they can still rent it when the truck brings it back, that's all that matters.
Where's the harness, bud? They put the anchor points in there for a reason..... THIS REASON!
Fish-Squatch Angling the bucket is too close to the ground, he would still hit the ground even with the harness. But yes, he should be wearing a harness anyway
DefaultSettings tell that to the refinery that I'm working at right now have to tie off at 4 foot
DefaultSettings the harness isn't meant to keep him from hitting the ground. It's to prevent him from flying 30ft into the air
Miriam Mejia no the harness is to prevent you from hitting the ground! Of course you are going to go flying when u drop off a 2 foot ledge like that . He’s a moron that has no clue how to operate that machine
Steve B No, the harness is to stop you going flying. You've clearly never done your training as they tell you this.
I love that guy laughing. Hahah im dying
Muttley laughing
Muttley you like asmr nigga?
Brad A Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
EpilepsyWarning hi
It's only funny cuz he's alright 😂😂.
1:02 The Mutley laugh!
OSHA approved!
$5,000 fine for even being in bucket WITHOUT A SAFTEY HARNESS
Believe it or not but its not in the regulations... its strongly advise to wear a harness though
I've had some wild experiences in much bigger versions of this piece of equipment myself. but man you are obviously going to get hurt doing that. Some of them drive quite fast when the boom is at just the right angle. If you take a turn too hard you can throw yourself out that way too. I have never been thrown out of one but I've definitely had a few sweaty experiences learning to drive one on very uneven Terrain.
That's a great way to fuck up a very expensive machine, and at the same time hurt yourself.
I would never come down that far inside the boom, use your brains and control the boom from the bottom.
uh, there designed so you can control from the top, so why not there
Marco Teixeira pretty sure you cant drive the lift from the bottom, you can only control the boom
DefaultSettings you're right you can't drive from the bottom controls only from the basket
Should of had a harness and lanyard on and had a ramp to drive down.
Marco Teixeira or use ramps to come down incline.should not have been operating boom if not licensed or experienced
Ahhh...the temptation of being the cameraman to just stay quiet when you could have warned the subject of impending doom.
"He'll be FIIIINE,"
You say to yourself.
Pfft.
That laugh at the end sounded like mutley out of the wacky races 🤣
Good example of leverage.
The wheezy laughter at the end is the funny part !
Watch Tony stands on an egg for the best wheezy laughter
I love how their first reaction was to laugh.
That laugh sounds like a Yorkie with emphysema.
Risk management was not used that day that's for sure...Lol...heavy machine is no fun and games. but after hearing the camera man laugh, I couldn't help it by laughing to. :D
Shubby Nyall got a minute?
Where was his safety harness. And that is not a cherry picker.
Lee Mullen it is a cherrypicker mate
United Catapults
Why are they not wearing a harness that you would clip on the cradle
The scary part is that you don't know how much you will be launched, so you don't know whether to let go and just land on your feet or hold on for dear life because if not you are getting catapulted
You are supposed to have a safety line attached to the bars on the operating system to prevent human catapult launch
Can't fix stupid
- sprinklerman
The guy laughing in the background made me laugh wayyy harder 🤣
Kyle Dennis lol i wasn't going to laugh until i heard him laughing
I've had worse accidents with my hammer. Keep it moving.
The laugh was the best part
Gutted ! I was hoping it was going to trebuchet him into the pond!
I almost did this once except I was in a harness and locked in
We know all hes gona want for Christmas now
1 Why wasn't the guy wearing a harness? I hope this man is alright. 2 He should have worn a harness and 3 he should have put some ramps under the machine. If the lift over turned, he would be thrown out, possibly crushed and definitely severely injured excluding the other people who could have been hurt.
This isn't a cherry picker. It's a man lift or a articulating boom lift.
Otherwise known as a Cherry picker 🙄
4x4? Challenge accepted! Don't worry, it's a rental!
Looks like he might have hit his head on the control panel.
A little movement on that end is a lot of movement on the other.
this is why cherry pickers are awesome
You alright but not realy arssed haha love it when ye boss thinks he knows it all ha
Reminds me of a classic MythBusters episode called "Boom Lift Catapult".😆
Made my day. Thnx
lol, that Muttley laugh...😂
I can tell dude wanted to just laugh luke hell..lmao
If you forget to rotate your camera to skinny portrait mode, at least be sure to clearly record video of the ground if anything important happens.
Not a cherry picker son🤣🤣🤣
It's a man lift or a personnel man basket lift.
I hope this was done on purpose. Cause if not, he needs a roll of Especial stickers.
😢😮😅 looks like he's coming off a barge from the water. There should be a little ramp there and that wouldn't have happened. That wasn't a good idea to have that come off a thing like that.

Wtf did you think was gonna happen always operate on level surface
keyboardbeats hi!
What was he thinking was going to happen. I got down tiny bumps and I get lifted a little lmao
Love that laugh!!😂
Honestly I didn't see it funny but I laughed so hard just because of the camera guy laughter heheheeeehhe
The guys body went like something out of gmod
Shouldn’t be operating something if u don’t know what it is lmao cherry picker ... 😂😂
I used to know a guy that would do stupid shit like this all the time, hes still alive somehow
Is he driving that off of a barge? Looked like the front wheels fell down after he gets launched, could have gone VERY much worse
Brilliant. Can we have some more shots of the floor ?
Nice colleagues...laughing so hard at the intern
Well funny.why do I never see stuff like this in everyday life?
Physics is still undefeated
Those things are extremely dangerous.
No one important to you right
teach him the laws of physics someone lmao
Him learned of the hard way
Need to take an Osha 30 class. Knuckle heads! PPE also. What up Jonathan G.

Someone didn’t pay attention in physics
“Pffft we don’t need a ramp”
My IPAF refresh brought me here 🤣
Plot twist: that was the plan.
That Beep beep means stop and think about whats going on....you just cant fix stupid
Only an idiot does that,and unfortunately there is an abundance of them
Parece la risa de pulgoso!!!!!!😁😁😁
Next time put the boom at a 90 degree angle with the chassis. Won't be so violent.
Esa risita es la que calienta 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
cherry picker?? that's a manlift
Remind me of them bull rider before they open the door, that cage getting the best of his ass.
His face lmfao hit the controle box
Hope the guy recording got fired for not preventing this it could of went a million times worse I used to operate these boom lifts and I heard so many story's of people getting catapulted from them cuz they weren't certified like they were supposed to be in the first place although it's hilarious I am glad it didn't go as bad as it could of been.
Funny
Question- you alright?
Then - jajajajajajajajajaja
dogo argentino ha
a man was killed doing this in west australia 20 years ago its not a joke
Mumbly is that you? lmao
They set him up 😄😄😄
Quick stand back up they won’t notice
Is that being filmed by a drone 2 foot off the floor?
No harness/fall protection he would be fired on the spot
Amateur!!!
Always a great laugh, sad to have seen if it all went wrong!!!
That is not a cherry picker. It's a personnel lift or a man lift. Get your slang correct. Word. Lol.
sorry Stacy, it is a Cherry Picker LOL, get your facts correct
Rebecca Molloy , a cherry picker is a smaller crane with a large round steel ball painted red attached to the cable used to lift material. Just ask anyone that has been in construction over the past 50 years or so.
It's all good. Lol have a great day. Be safe on that picker.
goggle it Stacy.
It's a cherry picker
You alright?.... HA HA HA HA HA!
The camera guy sucks more then the video and it’s always a camera guy that says “ look a bird” when the best action happens
Went for a ride😂😂😂😂
😆 almost sent his ass into orbit
LMFAO What was he trying to do.
G.I Joe drive down to the lower level.
Build the wall!!! oh wait. .
One beeper ok, but the multiple beepers going off were an indication that you are about to get fucked!!! Never ignore the beeps man. Never ignore the beeps
that was funny
thanks for sharing.
i would have just stacked a bunch of plywood to minimize the drop hes lucky he didnt smash his head open
Does no one remember a basic physics class? Come on!
Where is his harnes and yoyo
You know that fuckin hurt
Bet that hurt like hell
That is not a cherry picker
Wheres the harness? Lol
i don't see any Cherrypicker i wondering who called this boom lift a Cherrypicker..SMH
Only lift il wear a harness in these things will fucking launch u
I'm sorry for laughing karma.
