    So glad your ok Tom.
    That incident shows why roll cages are fitted to those machines, and is a testament to the Cat design team regarding operator safety.
    On a slightly lighter note. If there was a competition for doing backflips in a Cat, you would have got a score of 10 out of 10, for grace and elegance.

    I am reminded of the crash scene at the beginning of the movie Flight (2012). In the "making of" video, they described the research they did into the real-life crash that inspired it, and into what would fail in a modern airliner if it flew inverted. It turns out that a lot of engines rely on gravity to keep fluids where they're supposed to be.
    I like the care you put into step spacing. My wife is blind, and gets really annoyed with steps that aren't spaced where she can walk at a consistent pace.

      Tom and Ourlifein...: I was looking for a comment on seat belts so I am glad to see one. I went back and looked closely and I did not see Tom fasten seat belts. While I am not certain that this machine had seat belts (the legal requirement is somewhat new) I would have liked to see seat belts fastened. Roll cage will absolutely save your life, but not if you are thrown out of the seat. The absolutely worst thing I ever had to do in my 50 year career in the chemical industry was to tell a young wife that her husband had been killed when his forklift rolled over and he was crushed by the roll cage because he was thrown out of the seat.

      @@biokonorte7602 That’s a terrible thing to go thru. I’m an old instructor. During my time in the Air Force I taught backhoe operations. From trailer loading and unloading to excavating on a slope, I was responsible for proper training. I always told my students, “Birthdays are cool. Keep having them.” Allot of people are buying small tractors these days and I’m not aware of any effort to train people on how to use them safely. They think they’ve engineered out all the risks. They’re assuming that everyone will be strapped in and won’t fold down their ROPS. It makes me cringe.

    So glad to see you made it ok! You sure got your nickel's worth on that carnival ride!!! A long time ago a much wiser operator than I ever thought of becoming taught me in that situation you should keep your bucket low and slowly swing it around to your lower side and just let your bucket dust the ground as you descend down grade. That way if your machine starts to lose balance you can plant your bucket on the ground and regain control. Same goes for loading and unloading on and off the trailer. Keep your bucket below you (Like a third leg). Keep that theory in mind when loading and unloading skid steers also if you find yourself with a trailer pointed up hill. One request.....PLEASE USE YOUR SEATBELT....YOU HAVE A CAGE!!! We all want a lot more content from 'Concrete With The Hauses'. THX TOM

    I've always appreciated finding out accidents performed by others when operating a new machine. I've made a bunch for others to learn from, I really have. I operated many different lifts over the 9 1/2 years in construction. Watching you go over was scary the first time, but it was very funny the next time. You've operated that Cat often in tight places wout the cage on it. Kudos for always putting it back on!! You said how mad you might have been if one of the crew did that. Well, I've known you for over 3 years now. I've seen you in situations that would have had me throwing hammers and cursing. But each time, I was honestly amazed at how you kept your cool each time. One example is the beautiful exposed aggregate walks, in between the buildings of the owners' multi-million dollar mansion. Not noticing the sub base was frozen, the edges on the walks cracked overnight. That next morning, when you saw that, I was looking for flying hammers!!! I couldn't believe how you went into demolition mode as if it was just another function to complete the job. Not even one sour word!!! I gave you a thousand tons of respect that day. That threw TSH off schedule and cost a fortune out of TSH's income. I'll never forget that. All I can say is, no, you would not have gotten mad at your crew if one of them did that! Thank you for such great, clean, honest, and informative - and entertaining content. Always, always good stuff on your channel. I can't wait for your next post!!👍❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Step layout is such a simple thing once you have done enough of them. But homeowners doing their own often don't realize how important it is to have the rise and tread identical throughout. I've happily destroyed many unsafe steps to replace them with a set that won't be a dangerous trip hazard and an eyesore.

    More counterbalance could be achieved by filling bucket with dirt prior to stretching it out.
    I am a moderator on Kubota facebook group and every now and then the issue of tractor turnovers comes up. Unfortunately there are way too many people killed in tractor turnovers every year. A few owners gave testament to the benefits from wearing their seatbelt. I have a TLB B3200 and occasionally need to drive down our road to get to the gate at the other end of our property (pasture floods every winter in the middle). I make sure my seatbelt is on as our road is now very busy and I know I cannot move out of the tractor as fast as it can turn over.
    Enjoyed your going through the layout of the steps.

    Wow! That could have been much worse. I've seen a loader pitch forward when extending a full bucket too far, but luckily caught by a wooden fence. The homeowner didn't want the fence panel temporarily taken down because they didn't want their dogs getting out. The fence shouldn't have been able to hold the loader from going the rest of the way, but sometimes you just get lucky.

    A good demonstration of the importance of the rollover protection system (ROPS). I think the other lesson to perhaps take away from this is to wear your seatbelt when on an incline like this. If you had not been able to hold on like you did, that rollcage that saved you while inside can easily kill you if you fall out.

    We lost a man overseas on a very similar situation only the machine went sideways after it rolled and he jumped in the path of the canopy. Glad you're safe.
