ALSO knew that stopping and then going in reverse is very smart when working on a cliff like this with such loose material. If you just go straight to reverse , let off the decel pedal and start backwards , you increase the probability of the material under your track letting loose , sliding downward and taking you with it. BEST case scenario if that happens is you stay on top of or behind the avalanche you just created , WORSE case, you go over the leading edge and or twist sideways = BAD DAY
im waiting to see this avalanche...infact, i dont even see snow
OMG A bulldozer pushing dirt.
I fell asleep several times and it was still happening!
Thought that he was going to go over the edge with it, very skilful.
Good operator!!! Seemed to know exactly when to stop
Reverse is always a nice option.
All these videos of heavy equipment must be from visitors to the mine sites, coz this is just normal work for us everyday.
Lucky? What lucky? You're a veteran catskinner? You're smokin banana peels again
as a a veteran dozer operator, skill has nothing to do with what happened in the video. Skill cannot predict slope failure. This guy was just lucky.
Erm... seems to have went exactly as planned...
wonder what was going through the operators mind at 50 sec.? whew what a rush
no biggie, that dozer could walk right down that!
Could you post a slowed-down version plz, it all happened bit too quick for me

You seem to take average day-to-day work very seriously. Stay on the Tonka, ok?
The canera speed was slowed down before uploading. I do it all the time.
Believe it or not... This video is only 1:51 long
NO ESCAPE FROM REALITY.
OPEN YOUR EYES
LOOK UP TO THE SKIES AND SEE
Should of used variable speed, too slow at the beginning
NO ESCAPE FROM REALITY?
Well that was boring. I think I'll go and bronze up now.
wow you weren't kiddin when you said slow motion...
Uhmm, that's kind of what is supposed to happen.
building a road in a mine its how they do it
What is that stuff , coal dust ?
Just another day at the open pit mine.
that aint no cat its a L764
Oh sweet baby Jesus..... How does this video have close to 400,000 hits?
oh...didnt realize it was any motion....saw it again and spotted it :)
that is not an avalanche.
... I'm still waiting :P
No it's a dream.... -.-

Literally nothing happens
WHOA!!! That was INTENSE!!
Por suerte pudo retroceder
