No One Remembers To Set The Brakes….Why Does Everyone Forget To Set The Brakes?


No One Remembers To Set The Brakes….Why Does Everyone Forget To Set The Brakes?

If you ever find yourself on the scene of a rolled over truck and have some say in what happens next, scream and yell as loud as you can to get someone to climb in the laid up truck and set the brakes. Why? There are like 2.4-million videos on the internet of trucks, tractors, buses, bulldozers, and whatever other type of vehicle you can imagine being righted and then rolling off into the hinterlands, completely out of control. This video is but a small slice of that giant ass pie.

In this scene we find a Scania truck laying on its side and a deft front end loader operator working his machine to get it back onto its wheels again. We tried to figure out how the ace truck driver got his dump truck onto its side on a road so narrow but we gave up and just watched “the action”. The loader driver does a fine job of pulling the truck over and setting it down in a relatively gentle fashion but because no one put the brake on, it heads off into the cabbage or the jungle, or whatever the hell that vegetation is.  (story continues below video)

In this classic scene, a crawler tractor has gone turtle, so a larger crawler is brought in to get it back onto its tracks. The big machine has little trouble pulling the little one over but the rope slips off the hook it was on and that sends tractor two down a steep mountain grade as the speechless workers look on. The video quality sucks but this is one for the books…especially if you were at the bottom of the hill. (story continues below video)

This one is truly a classic and is reminiscent of the first video because the loader stands the truck up and it sits there for a second and then decides to exit stage left. You NEED to stick until the end of this one because it is ummmm….smashing. We think it happened in Italy. (story continues below video)

One last one here and where would be we without Russia, right? This one isn’t so much about the truck rolling away, this one is about the complete lack of care the people around show when this dump truck plummets into the deep water after a failed rescue attempt and the driver is STILL IN THE TRUCK. No one really cares and even the bulldozer guy only makes a half assed effort to get him. Real nice!
