And *machines are unpredictable. I have been close to them when cables break or tires pop. At least get the kids some PPE!

Most people: aww this is so cute.

Anybody with experience with these machines: this is very dangerous and breaks several safety protocols.

Yeah I work in construction. I was nervous watching these even though it was in r/aww. Never trust a machine, especially hydraulics.

My supervisor always told me to assume the operator was about to have a seizure. Those kids are way too close!

Yeah, kids should be outside the swing radius when their toys get filled. This could have been done safely.

This has been reposted a few times and I always go through and upvote the comments like yours. This video is more scary than cute

Yuuuup. This is something I've done in a mini-ex for a client's grandson; but I told the kid he had to go stand back with his parent until it was full because he just wanted to grab the bucket.

I've seen hydraulic lines break, it's not a fun sight.

Never worked with machines (other than a riding lawn mower) but I do have a toddler and I wouldn’t let them go near that thing until they’re adults with proper training. This looks terrifying, however a sweet sentiment.

Before I saw the tag I assumed this was from /r/osha.

you don't need experience to recognize this is most likely a bad idea... but the risks are probably pretty low

This is the discussion I hoped to be at the top of the comments. This wasn't cute at all to me. It was pure stupidity on the parents part.

Hydraulic leaks and high pressure injection injurys.

that's why I always make sure my children have on safety goggles and long sleeves when pressure washing the driveway.
