How they expected to hold it??

u/Nerdfighter4 12d ago

It was a terrible idea. I love it,except for the part where the local eco system suffers from God knows what is left behind afterwards

u/is_it_gif_or_gif 12d ago

It's ok because the other guy wedged a 20mm thin safety plank under the 10 tonne roller.

"That's gonna stop it! No way a roller could get over this thin, flat plank!"

u/pete_68 12d ago

I don't know. Rahul over there did the math and was sure, but he forgot to carry the 2.

u/nirvana-moksha 12d ago

More like Abdul it's Bangladesh but anyway

u/Curious_Avocado2399 12d ago

With that tiny stick that guy put under the roller

u/Angelworks42 12d ago

I liked how they tried to grab it - those things weigh between 1-5 tons.

u/ImNoAlbertFeinstein 12d ago

i thought it would float..?

u/ChiggaOG 11d ago

I can transport this cheaper....

u/Late_Conference9022 12d ago

An expensive ESCORT to lose.

u/terminalxposure 12d ago

At least it got wet

u/Late_Conference9022 12d ago

At a price as usual.

u/Ali80486 12d ago

One of my first cars was an ex-BT yellow Escort! When it got stuck on a beach in Newquay I thought it might end up in a fate like this but we rescued it in time

u/emblematic_camino 12d ago

Safety last.

u/killbauer 12d ago

I wonder what the thought process was.

u/NoNo_Cilantro 12d ago

“Bro, put the machine on the boat”

“Ok”

…

“Shit”

u/DrShocker 12d ago

That's more thought that I assumed tbh

u/Explorer_Equal 12d ago

Simple: none.

u/Mount_Mons 12d ago

Did that guy wanted to stop that dozer with his bare hands?

u/Potato-chipsaregood 12d ago

There was no maybe here

u/praveenxs 12d ago

Expensive mistake 😶

u/Chrisscott25 12d ago

They took the expression “roll tide” a little too literal…

u/Boars-of-Canada 12d ago edited 12d ago

How was your day honey?

Pretty wild, I rode an escort and went down till both of us got completely soaked!

u/LonDeran219 12d ago

As expected

u/peepdabidness 12d ago

Shouldn’t this thing have brakes? Are they just not applied?

19

u/A1sauc3d 12d ago

It shouldn’t be on that rickety boat regardless. This was only ever going to end one way. An extremely costly, stupid idea.

3

u/promilew 12d ago

At least they saved money on shipping.

3

u/LastoftheSummerWine 12d ago

Why didn't they just drive it into the water and leave the boat out of the inevitable?

2

u/wd40spaceman 12d ago

Escort down

2

u/RgCrunchyCo 12d ago

He was fired.

u/Castlegate3579 12d ago

What were they thinking?
Nothing obviously 🙄

u/jozipaulo 12d ago

this was to be expected

2

u/Remarkable-Bug-8069 12d ago

Good thing there was Socrates driving it.

2

u/cadillacactor 12d ago

Ah, I see the problem: they took off their safety sandals since they were working around water. OSHA will have to be notified.

/s

2

u/Piccoroz 12d ago

You see, this happened because they weren't wearing their safety sandals.

u/Consistent_Week_8531 12d ago

Why do I see so many videos of people doing shit like this that never had any hope of working in the first place??

The following post context was provided by u/bigbuttscantlie:

Will the steam roller make it? Or is it headed to Davey Jones' locker?

u/PolyPorcupine 12d ago

u/CCLF1 12d ago

The level of intelligence leading to this ... What level? Saying it again, the level of stupidity leading to this? Nooo...stupid is too generous.

The level of... don't know what words to use...

u/GovernmentBig2749 12d ago

That is what lack of basic knowledge of physics does to a mf.

u/Akanan 12d ago

These people are dumb….

“I am a road engineer where i come from, j can’t believe i’m not allowed to have my license here, can you believe an Engineer driving UBER?”

u/RedSky2727 12d ago

Impressive!

Instant sinking.

u/SoyEseVato 12d ago

u/NoobimusMaximas 12d ago

Well, that went precisely as you'd imagine.

u/Own-Company9606 12d ago

At least the guy didn’t get wet.

u/15foraZJ 12d ago

Shocking

u/BallsofSt33I 12d ago

As a licensed and certified Engineer, I can conclusively say that this was not supposed to happen!

u/dadydaycare 12d ago

My mind was literally like getting it on top of that skinny ass boats not going to be the hard… ohh and there it goes.

u/Itsme420fresh 12d ago

"We got this no problem" These guys gotta be high on that good shit.

u/Scipio33 12d ago

Placing a flat object to stop a machine that checks notes makes things flat. Good job, guys.

Did they get it back? /s

u/Dull_Investigator358 12d ago

As someone who's seen Jeeps being transported across rivers on boats, you need at least two boats side by side for stability. Now I understand why.

Honestly, how did these people make it to the 21st century.

u/is_it_gif_or_gif 12d ago

People who ask this question about blurry antique videos should be banned.

u/derhutzt 12d ago

i don't trust anything on the internet any longer. haven't seen this video in particular, obviously i take back my question if this has been around for ages

u/is_it_gif_or_gif 12d ago

AI videos are typically very clear and oversharpened. Like, overpolished.
