Wild ride down ? No way ! He would have been dead.
In the fall of 2009 I lost a truck mounted log loader that went over the side of a mountain. The ground gave way due to the heavy rains and unable to get a stable footing for the stabilizers. This was like the situation "Craig" on Axe Men worked in. Well over it went, I bailed out and the machine stopped about 400 feet down the mountain. It didnt look much like a loader when it finally landed. John
