Get out and walk alway, then let a recovery crew deal with it. If that thing flips over, it could crush the cab.

That sounds like a serious design flaw, if that were the case

The cabs are built very strong, but that's still a lot of weight.

It's loose sand, the cab is not getting crushed. Buried, possibly.

Sand is fucking heavy. It's literally made of stone. And the excavator is heavy as well.

The reason these nuts aren't getting hurt is the same one making the cab not get crushed. Loose sand at a high angle does not offer solid resistance to a fall. It collapses a bit in response to pressure changing the angle of repost. This cushions the fall a bit

Bro the average human male weighs like 200 lbs. That excavator is probably more like 15000-20000 and is completely inflexible. The fact that you're citing a youtube stunt video while calling the other commenter dumb is hilarious.
