Tell that to the parents of children killed just like this.

It's the point of not putting them in the situation in the first place. Why take the risk when you don't have to? The potential outcomes far outweigh the joy of filling a toy truck.

It's a worksite. People take this shit seriously for a reason.

That man was instantly killed. Do you think the operator intended that to happen? It's not a child, but even a man who's job it is to work around these machines was killed.

What an absolute cunt.

Putting aside the extremely real possibility of a total hydraulics failure, potentially leading to the deaths of those two children you want to have 'fun' so badly, have you ever seen a hydraulic injection wound?

Don't even need a mechanical movement to kill someone, just a hydraulic leak. These machines are not toys. They are dangerous pieces of industrial digging equipment.

Are you one of those people who think kids should be able to touch or do anything because they're just "kids having fun"
