Too much glitz and glamour in the monster truck scene.

I don't know squishy, those 528's are like a cadillac compared to a 518, guy would have broke his neck doing that on a 518! Chin strap hard hat required to keep your brains off the cage

A good friend of mine went that very way. Skidders are heavy machines when they start tumbling.

My buddy got it from a loose fire extinguisher actually, of all the stupid crap that can happen in the bush to go like that.

But I've known quite a few people now who've died in skidder accidents from varying degrees of crappy luck and stupidity. Pushing the conventional logging to far just for the almighty dollar.
