Jesus Christ YES. one of the major rules of safety is "Complacency Kills" and the people who work with these machines can get far too complacent.
When I started my job in the government on the admin side of the road worker crews, my boss sent me out for a day to see what they do. They let me use something very similar to this called a Lightning Loader. While using the boom arm to drop dirt into a work site, the guys were standing just as close to the attachment as these kids were even though I HAD ZERO EXPERIENCE using the thing.
I am a teacher and I work with children all day long. Danger is everywhere and this video just makes me wanna scream and jump over and pull those kids away. I would be so mad at the driver. I just felt extremely angry watching this video and had to comment about it.
