Situational Awareness

"making my way downtown walking fast... oooh my god !!! "

[ShelbyK-oy]

I bet that guy walking had earbuds in with the music cranked to the max.

This dude shouldn't ever waste his money on the lottery, he just used up every bit of luck he had

Always treat heavy equipment like it's going to try to kill you, because if you give it the opportunity it absolutely will.

"I have the right of way!" is a great epitaph.

As someone who's worked around heavy machinery and lived close to a coconut farm, "Left, right, up, down, forward and back" is a habit I still carry to this day

My uncle on his farm to me as a kid:
"You stay far away from tractors when I'm driving, or I'll break your bones myself!"

Truck driver here. Whether I'm driving, walking around my yard, or a customer's yard, I keep my head turning and my eyes moving! I look like a bobblehead, but I've never been run over.

Forget shaking hands, this guy moved in with danger

The way that guy was walking he seemed like he was a little depressed, but only seconds later he stands up with a brand new love for life, and a better understanding of why his daddy wanted him to become an accountant.

He has the situational awareness of a blind and deaf sloth

You can't see it with that Minecraft resolution, but the guy was saved because he was wearing his safety sandals

I grew up on a farm. You always make eye contact with the operator BEFORE approaching. Same with aircraft and helicopters.

If he had those magic Pliers, that loader would’ve been upside down

[ravenovatechnologies]

Wow man dude just almost took a dirt nap and STILL didn't get the message.

When I met my wife, I was driving small forklifts in a warehouse, and she wouldn't get within 30 feet of one of the things so long as they were on, they didn't even have to be moving. You could say it's a little excessive but you can never say she was in an unsafe position around any forklift or its operator.

Happened to a guy working with my dad on the railways. Coupling up a three car unit. Driver couldn't see him, started to roll forward, pushed the guy over and rolled him up underneath the engine. Dead before the emergency services could get there, before even the railways emergency response team could get there.

There followed a safety campaign "If you can't see me, I can't see you" - "Be seen - Be safe".

When you believe your safety is everyone else's responsibility.

I've been around mining equipment and workers for the past 20 years. These guys would tell me stories of mining accidents all the time. One that stuck out was similar to this. He was pancaked and no one really noticed till the next run through the area. We don't even make a speed bump for these things.

[waroftheworlds]

A good lesson I learned working in a warehouse: machinery has the right of way. Mostly because peds can stop on a dime, but heavy machinery can't.
