sad thing to happen, but when you do an interview on safety how can you do this straight after?

Must've been horrible for all those that witnessed it

 

Natural selection surely, bit big and noisy to not notice....

 

I kind of agree but at the same time with a few of them running around in an enclosed arena the sound will be everywhere and he probably had ear defenders on too...

 

With those big fuckers hurtling around be tempted to look left and right though....

 

I wonder what was going through his mind at the time (other than a few tons of truck).

One truck's just gone past so there must be another one somewhere?

GREEN CROSS CODE "STOP LOOK LISTEN"

Sorry it's bad but at a place like u would have your wit's about you!!!!!!

 

very sad but there are no second chance's when a monster turck runs you down

 

probably because hes been doing for years, where as you or me havent, therefor you'd be shitting bricks looking everywhere

He was probably just abit too relaxed and BAM.

Very sad

 

RIP

 

probably horrible for him!!!

 

RIP that man

 

a young guy just over the road from me got hit by a train last week in gatehead.walked through a crossing with his i pod in.surely to god you would be looking left and right at these sorta incidents.

 

yes maybe, but he had just given an interview on safety and he wasnt wearing blinkers aswell

 

I would tend to agree with you.

being a confined area that should make it all the easier to spot a 12ft tall 18ft long 1000+ hp truck coming at you

 

They didn't show the impact. I thought, "I'll go find a vid of it". Then I decided I didn't want to see it. Must be getting old.

 

I can't believe he never saw it coming. The driver must still be shaken up by it. Thanks to my 4 year old son i'm pretty well up on my Monster Trucks. Similar to what Dojj is to wrestling, but not quite as obsessed. This truck was called Samson.

 

A fatal mistake. Poor bastard.

 

yep he should of really touched that wood i think if i say something like that i usually run off to find some wood, i've been known to touch cloth a few times as well but don't think that is as lucky

but in all seriousness R.I.P, but a quick glance around really wouldn't of hurt now would it, i work with electrics but know you can't get comfy because it will bite you without warning, just a shame he lost his life because of it.

 

YOu get complacent doing dangerous jobs. He saddly paid th eultimate price for it. Can't be much visibility from one of those things

 

bit confused how he just walked out in front of it.

 

Sad but "should have gone to specsavers"

 

yes very sad but i dont have any sympathy for him he should have been more carefull end of..

the worst news is the bit at the end where a little kid was killed by a flying peice of truck,now that is a shame and a complete wast of life

 

i think you're right, they drive over cars and all sorts apparently

 

That is the real tragedy of the story

They all have a remote engine cut off fitted aswell so if the safety crew see a potential accident they can stop the truck remotely, like if one catches fire underneath that the driver can't see. He must have been obscured from their view.

 

yeah but even with a remote cut off something of that weight and size doesnt just stop dead! it wil have alot of momentum so take a while to coast to a stop without brakes being applied....

may of just been fed up with life you dont iknow what caused it.... but i cant believe that he didnt think about looking before walking across

 

R.I.P.

 

Only a matter of time, safety didn't seem to be a priority. I imagine the guy was well enough paid for what he did.
