Driver would want to close the door gently on that one Dundee.
The pictures don't really take the serious implications of this whoopsie,if we pulled the ute out from the front it would of rolled so I anchored a second tractor to the back end.
The driver of the ute got in and we told him to get out and hold the wheel while it was moved. One lucky guy there Gadget as that bank is bloody steep.
This happened at about 3am on a mates Stag Do in South Africa, his wife was not happy as it was her car!

Looks like a classic panic-brake-overcorrect moment there!
Why some people should not be given licences!

swimmer crane!
bit of a balls up alrite. It had rained in the hills and the water came up so fast he couldn't walk it out in time, made it about half the 60m to the ramp before he had to shut it down and ended up being lifted off it with another crane. he had to hold on to the hook and be lifted to safety, no osh in those days i don't think.
lucky escape
The driver didn't have a NZ licence and most likely never driven on a gravel road.Quote:
