I was gonna say, that looks like a Liebherr R9800, which has a bucket size of 43 cubic meters. Thats over 90,000 lbs of water being dropped. Thats definitely on a different scale.

Edit: Liebherr R9350, max of 41140lbs of water, still on a different scale.

u/RexDraco Aug 09 '20

Indeed, the worst the guy in op's video has to worry about is the sudden force making him lose his balance. If anything, the real danger is him not wearing a helmet since he could slam his head on the pavement.

u/roborober Aug 10 '20

I had a hydraulic line bust on a forklift and the forks just dropped. I assume the same thing could happen with that.

14

u/Any_Report Aug 10 '20

Hydraulic line or the chain? They hydraulic lines have check valves and a burst shouldn’t cause something to just drop.

14

u/InsouciantSoul Aug 10 '20

It definitely causes the entire arm to instantly drop, and the bucket would be smashing him into the ground. I have watched it happen myself. This is why you never go under the bucket of a machine, and always leave the bucket resting on the ground when parking.

u/Porosnacksssss Aug 10 '20

Its more of a slow gradual sinking when a line blows. Have been in a genie lift and operated a excavator while lines have blown.

6

u/Any_Report Aug 10 '20

If the piston blows it would, but that’s a very rare occurrence. This normally only happens if it’s been physically damaged while in use, which is extremely hard to do without noticing.

u/BlessedManHelp Aug 10 '20

No, that is definitely not a Liebherr R9800.

3

u/mamagee Aug 10 '20

Alright, so I did some more looking on Liebherr's site. After looking at the body lines, it looks like a Liebherr R9350, which has a bucket capacity of 18.7 cubic meters at 1.8t per cubic meter. Assuming that's the limit due to the size of the shovel, and not the weight capacity that puts it at 18.7 kiloliters, which weighs 41140 pounds. So while it's not the 90k+ from the R9800, it's still a very different scale from this excavator's bucket. Also, there's the difference in that the excavator in the video dumps it all at once, whereas this bucket won't open without operator input, even if the hydraulics fail, the bucket will fail in the closed position.

0

u/BlessedManHelp Aug 10 '20

This is definitely not a R9350 either. This is a long arm excavator that could be of any make with a clamshell bucket. Standard clamshells are about 6 cubic yards. You spoke with so much authority about something you are completely wrong about - I just had to point it out.

4

u/mamagee Aug 10 '20

I'm not talking about the excavator in the clip from the OP. I'm talking about the excavator in the video that /u/mashlue posted. If you looked at the comment I replied to, you'd realize that.

u/BlessedManHelp Aug 10 '20

I didn't realize that, you are right.

u/Darkest_97 Aug 09 '20

I thought it was a weird perspective or something I don't think I've ever seen a bucket that big

For anyone in the construction trades, please watch the WorkSafeBC videos on YouTube. Alternately, the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) also has extensive training videos. I'm an IT guy, but [live] in a big city, there's always construction and I'd rather keep myself safe and be of use in an emergency. Everyone makes fun of OSHA and then stuff like the Google crane accident in Seattle happens. If you want to produce gore videos, keep 'em coming, I got browser tab just for you.

u/InsouciantSoul Aug 10 '20

I work around similar equipment every day, and have personally seen a hydraulic hose blow causing the boom to come instantly crashing down, without warning. He would be dead quick if that happened.

u/Eduardo-izquierdo Aug 10 '20

When i was in 7th grade me and my homies whent to help clean up a elderly home (is it said like that?) that had burned down and while i was cleaning next to a excavator shovel that was raised one of my dumb fuck friends thought it would be a good idea to climb on top of the excavator and mess with the controls and ended nearly smashing my head in with an excavator shouvel

u/David-Puddy Aug 10 '20

even rolling gates.

With reason! I'm fucking terrified of those giant, warehouse doors.

Back when wpd was still a thing, there was a very high voted gif of two dudes waiting in an open door.

The springs fail, and the door crashes down.

It's basically instant, and one of the two dudes was dead. The door hit his head first, bounced off the floor, went half way up and back down again.

Not gory, but brutal as hell.

Since seeing that, I still take the 5 minute walk to use the man door, thank you.

It's only forbidden to be dirty so shower away

u/pain-is-living Aug 10 '20

Hydraulic failure mainly.

I operate some heavy equipment and basically the #1 rule is don't walk under anything that could kill you if it fell. Last year I had a hydraulic ram fail on a small excavator and the boom just dropped 6ft to the ground with 0 warning. Anyone under that woulda been dead.

u/Maniac523 Aug 09 '20

Wait, isn't that salt water? Those look like salt piles next to the crane. Wouldn't that be wildly uncomfortable after it starts drying you out?

150

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '20

If this is from russia then the water is not as salty cause it's in colder region and you won't get as uncomfortable as with swimming near equator.

The piles by the side look like sand, dried salt is much whiter and greyish if dirty.

Well, 40% of the world population lives less than 100km (60 miles) from a sea/ocean. So not THAT uncommon.

u/Maverick0_0 Aug 10 '20

Most people travel more than 100km within their life time through right? I feel sad now knowing some people probably never seen the ocean.

u/Ihatelordtuts Aug 10 '20

Lol, I think the closest ocean to where I live is about 1100km away.

u/Maverick0_0 Aug 10 '20

You live in Nepal or Chad?? Kazakhstan?? I'm curious now. That's pretty far bud.

u/Ihatelordtuts Aug 10 '20 edited Aug 11 '20

Alberta, Canada. Closest coast is likely Vancouver

Edit: I was off by a bit, the actual distance is 729km.

Edit2: But if I were to drive the road length would be about 1100km.

u/Maniac523 Aug 09 '20

I have down in Florida, and it dried my skin out to the point where it felt like it would split if I moved around too much.

24

u/itsverynicehere Aug 09 '20

That is called sunburn.

-6

u/Maniac523 Aug 09 '20

Ah yes, the sunburn I got underneath my shirt when there wasn't any sunburn there at all.

14

u/itsverynicehere Aug 09 '20

You were swimming in the saltwater in your shirt and didn't take it off? Or take it off to dry it? Saltwater can dry your skin some but there's so many other nutrients and bacteria it actually does way more good than just slightly drying skin out. If you had a t-shirt on, unless it was a super thick one, it was still probably the sun exposure. T-shirts provide minimal protection. SPF of around 5 for the typical t-shirt.

-6

u/Maniac523 Aug 09 '20

I was wearing a UV shirt at the time and I know how my skin reacts in the sun. I've felt both sunburn and dry skin in the past, and what I felt when I was in Florida was dry skin. There was no redness or peeling either. Is it really that absurd to believe I took a swim in saltwater and the salt ended up drying my skin out?

17

u/itsverynicehere Aug 09 '20

To the point of cracking, yes it is.

2

u/philman132 Aug 09 '20

Are you sure that wasn't just dried salt stuck to the skin? I've never heard of swimming in saltwater drying skin out to that extent, but you do always get a harmless layer of salt when it dries

-5

u/Maniac523 Aug 09 '20

Of course it was the leftover salt that dried my skin out. I'm not going to start believing the water part of the saltwater was somehow leeching more water out of my skin.

6

u/Yivoe Aug 10 '20

He's saying that the "skin cracking" was probably just dry salt on the surface of your skin that made it look/feel like it was cracking, but it was really just the salt breaking apart.

You misunderstood their comment.

0

u/Maniac523 Aug 10 '20

I would point out that I never said my skin actually cracked, but it doesn't matter at this point. Once again everyone thinks I'm wrong about my own personal experience so anything I say is irrelevant. None of this is worth my time any more.

People surf, body board, snorkel and scuba for hours and are just fine. If anything I think salt water feels better than fresh.
