David Anthony: Very correct. I work for United and I don't like running these machines out because of idiots like this. I promise you United could care less, they are here for the BUCK!
Fish-Squatch Angling the bucket is too close to the ground, he would still hit the ground even with the harness. But yes, he should be wearing a harness anyway
Miriam Mejia no the harness is to prevent you from hitting the ground! Of course you are going to go flying when u drop off a 2 foot ledge like that . He’s a moron that has no clue how to operate that machine
I've had some wild experiences in much bigger versions of this piece of equipment myself. but man you are obviously going to get hurt doing that. Some of them drive quite fast when the boom is at just the right angle. If you take a turn too hard you can throw yourself out that way too. I have never been thrown out of one but I've definitely had a few sweaty experiences learning to drive one on very uneven Terrain.
Risk management was not used that day that's for sure...Lol...heavy machine is no fun and games. but after hearing the camera man laugh, I couldn't help it by laughing to. :D
Ahhh...the temptation of being the cameraman to just stay quiet when you could have warned the subject of impending doom. "He'll be FIIIINE," You say to yourself. Pfft.
The scary part is that you don't know how much you will be launched, so you don't know whether to let go and just land on your feet or hold on for dear life because if not you are getting catapulted
1 Why wasn't the guy wearing a harness? I hope this man is alright. 2 He should have worn a harness and 3 he should have put some ramps under the machine. If the lift over turned, he would be thrown out, possibly crushed and definitely severely injured excluding the other people who could have been hurt.
Definitely not someone I would want on my jobsite. I’m sure there will be plenty of critics on this, but yes. None of these lifts were made to operate like this guy did. However, as someone already wrote, there should have been ramps. Even just a dirt ramp. Option B, if you ABSOLUTELY MUST drive over something like this(not sure how that would ever be the case, but anyway)he should have used the override switch, so that he could have still driven while hanging 90 degrees straight out the side. The action would have been almost none in comparison, when the tires dropped down. And last, worst option, that still would have been better than what he did, would have been to swivel 180 degrees, instead of 90. Then when the tires dropped, as long as he had the boom high enough to not smash into the ground, it would have been the opposite action as the ‘catapult’ effect he experienced. But hey, you can’t fix stupid.
That's pretty good advice, if I ended up in this situation idk that I would have thought of ground controls. I'll try to keep that in the back of my mind. But hopefully I never need to do something this unsafe.
One beeper ok, but the multiple beepers going off were an indication that you are about to get fucked!!! Never ignore the beeps man. Never ignore the beeps
Hope the guy recording got fired for not preventing this it could of went a million times worse I used to operate these boom lifts and I heard so many story's of people getting catapulted from them cuz they weren't certified like they were supposed to be in the first place although it's hilarious I am glad it didn't go as bad as it could of been.
I’m sure united rentals loves seeing their equipment treated that way. Lol what a great operator!

Screw united rentals.
As long as they can still rent it when the truck brings it back, that's all that matters.
1:02 The Mutley laugh!
I love that guy laughing. Hahah im dying
Muttley laughing
Muttley you like asmr nigga?
Brad A Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
EpilepsyWarning hi
It's only funny cuz he's alright 😂😂.
OSHA approved!
Where's the harness, bud? They put the anchor points in there for a reason..... THIS REASON!
Fish-Squatch Angling the bucket is too close to the ground, he would still hit the ground even with the harness. But yes, he should be wearing a harness anyway
DefaultSettings tell that to the refinery that I'm working at right now have to tie off at 4 foot
DefaultSettings the harness isn't meant to keep him from hitting the ground. It's to prevent him from flying 30ft into the air
Miriam Mejia no the harness is to prevent you from hitting the ground! Of course you are going to go flying when u drop off a 2 foot ledge like that . He’s a moron that has no clue how to operate that machine
Steve B No, the harness is to stop you going flying. You've clearly never done your training as they tell you this.
I've had some wild experiences in much bigger versions of this piece of equipment myself. but man you are obviously going to get hurt doing that.

The wheezy laughter at the end is the funny part !
Watch Tony stands on an egg for the best wheezy laughter
United Catapults
this is why cherry pickers are awesome
Love that laugh!!😂
I love how their first reaction was to laugh.
Good example of leverage.
We know all hes gona want for Christmas now
4x4? Challenge accepted! Don't worry, it's a rental!
That's a great way to fuck up a very expensive machine, and at the same time hurt yourself.
Made my day. Thnx
$5,000 fine for even being in bucket WITHOUT A SAFTEY HARNESS
Believe it or not but its not in the regulations... its strongly advise to wear a harness though
The laugh was the best part
That laugh at the end sounded like mutley out of the wacky races 🤣
Risk management was not used that day that's for sure...Lol...heavy machine is no fun and games. but after hearing the camera man laugh, I couldn't help it by laughing to. :D
Shubby Nyall got a minute?
thanks for sharing.
The guy laughing in the background made me laugh wayyy harder 🤣
Kyle Dennis lol i wasn't going to laugh until i heard him laughing
lol, that Muttley laugh...😂
Reminds me of a classic MythBusters episode called "Boom Lift Catapult".😆
I can tell dude wanted to just laugh luke hell..lmao
Can't fix stupid
- sprinklerman
The guys body went like something out of gmod
Looks like he might have hit his head on the control panel.
Ahhh...the temptation of being the cameraman to just stay quiet when you could have warned the subject of impending doom.
"He'll be FIIIINE,"
You say to yourself.
Pfft.
Need to take an Osha 30 class. Knuckle heads! PPE also. What up Jonathan G.
That laugh sounds like a Yorkie with emphysema.
The scary part is that you don't know how much you will be launched, so you don't know whether to let go and just land on your feet or hold on for dear life because if not you are getting catapulted
You are supposed to have a safety line attached to the bars on the operating system to prevent human catapult launch
Brilliant. Can we have some more shots of the floor ?
I hope this was done on purpose. Cause if not, he needs a roll of Especial stickers.
Plot twist: that was the plan.
Nice colleagues...laughing so hard at the intern
I would never come down that far inside the boom, use your brains and control the boom from the bottom.
uh, there designed so you can control from the top, so why not there
Marco Teixeira pretty sure you cant drive the lift from the bottom, you can only control the boom
DefaultSettings you're right you can't drive from the bottom controls only from the basket
Should of had a harness and lanyard on and had a ramp to drive down.
Marco Teixeira or use ramps to come down incline.should not have been operating boom if not licensed or experienced
Mumbly is that you? lmao
Parece la risa de pulgoso!!!!!!😁😁😁
I've had worse accidents with my hammer. Keep it moving.
Gutted ! I was hoping it was going to trebuchet him into the pond!
I almost did this once except I was in a harness and locked in
Him learned of the hard way
A little movement on that end is a lot of movement on the other.
Is that being filmed by a drone 2 foot off the floor?
You alright but not realy arssed haha love it when ye boss thinks he knows it all ha
Where was his safety harness. And that is not a cherry picker.
Lee Mullen it is a cherrypicker mate
Quick stand back up they won’t notice
Esa risita es la que calienta 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Physics is still undefeated
They set him up 😄😄😄
That Beep beep means stop and think about whats going on....you just cant fix stupid
teach him the laws of physics someone lmao
My IPAF refresh brought me here 🤣
1 Why wasn't the guy wearing a harness? I hope this man is alright. 2 He should have worn a harness and 3 he should have put some ramps under the machine. If the lift over turned, he would be thrown out, possibly crushed and definitely severely injured excluding the other people who could have been hurt.
“Pffft we don’t need a ramp”
What was he thinking was going to happen. I got down tiny bumps and I get lifted a little lmao
Not a cherry picker son🤣🤣🤣
It's a man lift or a personnel man basket lift.
Only an idiot does that,and unfortunately there is an abundance of them
Well funny.why do I never see stuff like this in everyday life?
Someone didn’t pay attention in physics
Ouch!
You alright?.... HA HA HA HA HA!
Why are they not wearing a harness that you would clip on the cradle
His face lmfao hit the controle box
No harness/fall protection he would be fired on the spot
I used to know a guy that would do stupid shit like this all the time, hes still alive somehow
Those things are extremely dangerous.
No one important to you right
i would have just stacked a bunch of plywood to minimize the drop hes lucky he didnt smash his head open
Definitely not someone I would want on my jobsite. I’m sure there will be plenty of critics on this, but yes. None of these lifts were made to operate like this guy did. However, as someone already wrote, there should have been ramps. Even just a dirt ramp. Option B, if you ABSOLUTELY MUST drive over something like this(not sure how that would ever be the case, but anyway)he should have used the override switch, so that he could have still driven while hanging 90 degrees straight out the side.

Build the wall!!! oh wait. .
Went for a ride😂😂😂😂
Honestly I didn't see it funny but I laughed so hard just because of the camera guy laughter heheheeeehhe
😆 almost sent his ass into orbit
If you forget to rotate your camera to skinny portrait mode, at least be sure to clearly record video of the ground if anything important happens.
Where is his harnes and yoyo
This isn't a cherry picker. It's a man lift or a articulating boom lift.
ground controls
C&M MIAMIPRO major tom
cherry picker?? that's a manlift
Harness
Amateur!!!
Always a great laugh, sad to have seen if it all went wrong!!!
Shouldn’t be operating something if u don’t know what it is lmao cherry picker ... 😂😂
Bet that hurt like hell
I'm sorry for laughing karma.
Next time put the boom at a 90 degree angle with the chassis. Won't be so violent.
looks like he hit his head pretty bad on the control panel lol 0:50
One beeper ok, but the multiple beepers going off were an indication that you are about to get fucked!!! Never ignore the beeps man. Never ignore the beeps
that was funny
Wtf did you think was gonna happen always operate on level surface
keyboardbeats hi!
luverly
You know that fuckin hurt
Does no one remember a basic physics class? Come on!
Hope the guy recording got fired for not preventing this it could of went a million times worse I used to operate these boom lifts and I heard so many story's of people getting catapulted from them cuz they weren't certified like they were supposed to be in the first place although it's hilarious I am glad it didn't go as bad as it could of been.
Why not rotate to the side
Legend Cox it won’t walk if the turret is too much to the side
Whatever he did it was goi g to be wrong
Man basket
Remind me of them bull rider before they open the door, that cage getting the best of his ass.
LMFAO What was he trying to do.
G.I Joe drive down to the lower level.
Funny
Question- you alright?
Then - jajajajajajajajajaja
dogo argentino ha
And thats how people get hurt use the proper body hardnes, its funny till someone gets really hurt
Fuckin ouch.
