Dude, where's my wheel?

Rear dumper on side

Another interesting one. That's a pretty flat bench he's managed to fall over on. Gravity is obviously not the friend of these rear dumpers.

Wheel Chock

It's lucky that light vehicle was there, or that Caterpillar 777 might have driven over the edge of that wall!

Sunk Barge

An excavator on the barge makes a good dredger, but someone's going to have to dig him up from the bottom of the dam.

Poor Dismount

Good performance, but he's going to lose points for the poor dismount. This photo comes from the Curragh mine in Blackwater, Queensland.

edit: May '09 - Additional Photo

Broken Axle

This broken axle on this rear-dumper is going to make it hard to get it back to the workshop.

Pothole

That's a pretty big pothole he's managed to get himself stuck in.

PAMA Incident

These photos are from the PAMA mine in Indonesia.

Another Rolled Rear Dumper

What is it with rear-dumpers and their proclivity for rolling over?

Hung-up on the wall

Bad.


Very Bad.


Oh, shit.


Another serious contender for 'luckiest bastard of the year'.

Edit: 2/11/2008 - Received some extra photos of this incident during the week.
