Poor kids. What was that guy thinking? Those machines are way to fast and bumpy to have people in the bucket. I don't understand how he could not see the girls fall out. I don't know all the details but it seems to me he should be charged with something. Since it was a construction site, I wonder if OSHA is going to get involved.
About 10 years ago at work, we were moving from one area to another and a guy was sitting behind the bucket with one of his feet at the pinch point. The operator curled the bucket back and severely crushed his foot. They both knew that they were not allowed to ride on any machine.
