    Love the guy standing under the raised backhoe bucket. We call a bucket being in the air for no reason an "Asshole Magnet", and they are. It's amazing how, out of all the room on a job site, some people are just attracted to the spot under a bucket or suspended load.

    Grew up in a construction family with heavy equipment. Started working with my dad when I was 10 and when he had to use a cable he made sure me and my brothers knew the danger if it broke. He once took a piece of cable about 6 foot long and laid down a watermelon and swung it so hard it cut it in two. He then look at us and said, "That was child's play compared to how fast that cable will come at you if it snaps. Just think of that watermelon has your head" LOL We stayed clear.

    You guys are scaring the crap out of me. I spent 20 years in the Navy and have seen many lines and ropes part. You had guys standing in the bite of the ropes, guys stepping over ropes under strain, guys standing directly in line with the direction of pull where a parted rope will travel, and guys in the work area who really did not need to be there. Please take more care in the future parting lines and ropes are no joke. They will literally tear body parts off. (before anyone makes a dumb comment, if it's made from fibers, it's line, if it's made of metal it's rope)

I always can sense a dangerous situation and avoid it. Know you machine and know your ground. Anyone who puts a machine in a mess like this can run the machine but is not a true operator.
