    Posting here cause it could be bad if the world sees it

    Well i was dumping on a dam wall with 60 cm on each side on the left 20 + meter drop the other 5 meter, lucky it was the 5.

    what happens i empty the load the dozer come along and spreads it and goes down the 5 meter drop. Well this time the dozer tracks made it all soft . As i was coming up to it im looking at it thinking fuck if im not carefull here im going to slip down this bank here. So what i did was instead of looking where i wanted to go i was looking where i didnt want to go so of corse i went there. And below is what happen.

    They are designed to do that if that happens the tray only rolled . So a  excavator comes along sticks his bucket in and pulls it back upright.The driver of it is a new member to here and from the gold coast might see him on some rides on his breaks . Dont know what he calls him self yet but this may encorage him to speak up he certainly had a good laugh.

    Any ways glad it was the 5 meter side and no one was hurt specially me

    As you say lucky it was the tray only otherwise you'd have been a pretty sore bloke. Not a lot of padding in those bad boys.

    Glad to hear you got away unhurt and with some dignity.
