The ROPS was clearly not up when the guy crashed. It's evident at 25 sec and at 1:47, or whatever other time was already cited. NO ROPS, never wear seatbelt. Rops UP, wear seatbelt on anything other than flat ground. Dew, wet grass, etc. are an accident waiting to happen with Z-turns.
That operator is a lucky guy his neck wasn't snapped, and people found him in time. Phew, not a good day for that guy and his company. OSHA should cite them for not using the ROPS though.
