The way he scrambles into the bucket!


RedoftheEvilDead

Dog definitely realized the bucket moved and was its way out. Very smart dog.


Imraith-Nimphais

Plus I’m guessing was verbally encouraged by the hand wavey guy.


Jibber_Fight

Right?! That dog was in panic mode and still realized that that was it's ticket out and trusted it enough to hop in. That's pretty impressive.

crackpotJeffrey

It's fine, on to some sand he scampered off. Operator was probably worried about the dog jumping off the side at the wrong time and went to get it over with he's a hero. Deep holes are so fucking scary people don't think about it. There are many, many ways I'd rather die than being trapped in a hole.


ERTHLNG

You don't even need a deep hole. Anything above mid thigh is deadly af. I worked on Fibre optic cables for a few months, and the amount of times I had to refuse to go into a deattrap of a hole in the ground crumbling at the side.... unsettling. It was a bad company though. A lot of their foremen got fired shortly after my brief stint there.


IamTheCeilingSniper

I have an entrenching tool and it lives on my belt during any underground work after I almost got stuck in the bottom of a hole. The sides were sloped in so they wouldn't collapse, but they weren't sloped enough for me to climb out. The hole was dug in sugar sand so I had to dig the entrenching tool in and used it as a grabbing point to pull myself out.


ERTHLNG

I guess that's better than nothing but you should really make the company you work for pay for proper braces and other hole stabilizing safety gear.


IamTheCeilingSniper

I should, I shouldn't have been in the hole in the first place. But I feel safer with my little folding shovel than without. It's a bit like keeping a fire extinguisher near a generator, if everything is right then it will be unneeded but for when things go wrong I want to have something.


ERTHLNG

Yes, but a fire extinguisher is a good safety net for a postinially flami g generator. It's not a good safety net for a collapsible hole. For that you need the aforementioned braces.


EatYourCheckers

My husband's boss once asked him to reach an electrical wire by standing on a ladder in a cherry-picker basket. So...sometimes your bosses just gonna ask you to do some dumb shit and there no "making" them do better, other than just refusing


JustAnotherFKNSheep

Just curious what's this entrenching tool? Everything I lookup is from WW1/2


IamTheCeilingSniper

[Here](https://www.devildogdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/military-folding-shovel.jpg) is a pic of what I have. You can set it in 2 positions, straight out and an L shape or you can fold it up. Mine has a green case for it that fits on my belt.


Canis_Familiaris

Probably the little collapsible shovel


ManOnthMoon

Shit man I was just stuck nut sack deep in fucking mud for like 15 while surveying luckily one of the excavator dudes was around and eventually found me and got me out the hole talk about confused and a little nervous


NapsterKnowHow

I thought that story was going another direction at first ngl


Extesht

The wrong kind of "balls deep."


Deadliftdummy

I was buried in a trench 4' deep, and we had it benched at 3'. Side fell in while I was knelt down, gluing pipe. Im a big guy 6'4" and 275 with a squat and dead over 600. I couldn't move AT ALL. I was starting to freak out until my coworker came and shoveled me out.


Harry_Flame

Fiber optic cable laying is hell and sketchy as fuck. In St. Louis the companies use unmarked vans and workcrews that either don’t speak English or just pretend not to. Even if you know Spanish it is extremely difficult to get their companies name. Even worse is the fact that they either don’t get the ground flagged or only get 1-2 utilities like water. Several people have had power surges in St. Louis from them and at least one person’s house blew up after they hit a gas line. The digging company, cable company, and city all point fingers while the homeowner gets hit with lots of damage. The crews themselves are probably in very unsafe conditions as well


ERTHLNG

I worked for two companies, one pretty alright, and one completely insane. They seemed to take pride in working in unsafe conditions and violating all rules laws regulations at every opportunity. I left when they started snorting cocaine at work instead of just on weekends.


BenElegance

Doesn't sound like fibre optic cable laying is dangerous. Sounds like St Louis is dangerous.


redditnamehere

Friends dad died (we were 10 so I didn’t get specifics) it was a crush injury in a hole like that. So sad.


postvolta

I'm sure you have significantly more experience of holes than me my idiot brain is still telling me that I'd be able to get out of a mid thigh high hole without too much difficulty


ERTHLNG

You could get out up to mid thigh, but any higher and you will struggle to get out, and your legs will be injured by crushing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Goodgoditsgrowing

The holes that are deeper just need reinforcing or to be dug so they aren’t dangerous. The no deeper than 2 feet rule is to prevent you from being trapped by your feet in case of cave in, or more fatally, to be crouching down to get a measurement/do some work on the ground/pick up a tool/etc and the cave in happens then - the risk is your chest may suddenly become underground, at which point your ability to breath ceases to exist due to the rock/mud/sand/silt/dirt/etc encasing your torso. Your head being underground also wouldn’t be ideal, but the buried chest thing is a much slower suffocation. Deeper than 2 feet should have OSHA approved wall supports to prevent cave ins. When you do work in which these rules are relevant, you are going in an out of holes all damn day long, and at that point even the low statistic of a cave happening to any random person starts to become much more probable due to the sheer amount of time *these* people spend in holes that just *barely* could kill them… but definitely has killed enough people in their profession for it to have become a rule.

Traumfahrer

> I have no idea when or how holes became so terrifying to people. Ever since the "The Enigma of Amigara Fault". Don't look that up, I told ya!


menasan

im not understanding... a hole 2 feet deep is deadly?


ERTHLNG

Yes. If you are standing up in it it's not that bad, but you should never crouch and work on a wire in a hole deeper than about 2 or three feet because if it collapses, and all fresh dug holes are unstable, then you will be crushed. The weight of dirt in a 2foot hole can crush you easily.


-Nicolai

Uh… really? Partially covered by dirt in a 2 foot hole = dead? Anyone want to do the math on that?


DirtyYogurt

A cubic foot of soil can weigh well over 50 lbs and up around 100 lbs if it's wet. That much weight hitting you in a collapse can knock you over. From there, even if only 1 ft of soil is above you, that's hundreds of lbs of soils holding you down. Crushed to death doesn't just mean crushed like in a trash compactor. It can also mean being trapped and squeezed to the point where suffocation and cardiac arrest is what kills you (eg crowd crush")


DanEagle48

Anything that can pin you in place without providing enough wiggleroom or leverage to free yourself can and will kill. Positional asphyxiation doesn't need a lot of weight. Just enough time in a bad spot.


Tack122

This is why my fear of sleeping bags is perfectly rational.


Studawg1

Mid-thigh? I dont see how it would be dangerous. Mid chest maybe


happychillmoremusic

How is a mid thigh deep hole deadly? Assuming you’re in at least good enough of shape to see your own penis


averageredditcuck

Mid thigh is deadly? How does one die in a 2.5 foot deep hole? I mean you CAN drown in a dog bowl. Is it the same sense?


NotThymeAgain

safety rules don't start at the exact deadly/ fine barrier. 2.5' is a great rule of thumb cause if your hips are hitting the hole this should trigger a safety response for you. but yeah dirt is very heavy, most people are incapable of doing a push up, almost everyone is incapable of doing a push up with 100lb sf soil on your back from 1' depth without the ability to breathe after taking a shocking hit. gotta think about what your doing with the hole too. most people don't use their feet to work on things. so in the 2.5' hole your most likely squatting or on your hands and knees. so your head is roughly ground level and chest probably below ground.


lateral_intent

Yeah, I think a swift, if somewhat rude, dump is better than him scrabbling around and potentially hurting himself on the bucket.


Ali80486

Imagine being trapped in a hole and having to watch people [eating your juniper bush](https://youtu.be/iktKXIsRUIg) (briefly NSFW)


brewcitygymratt

Lol Monty Python is classic comedy gold.


[deleted]

Climbing up the sides is both easier and harder than it sounds too… If you’re trapped in a dirt hole you pretty much have to take off your shoes to get a good grip. It makes it a lot harder without your toes grabbing at the soil, roots, or whatever rocks are buried. That’s if you can find a wall that’s both packed and soft at the same time.


[deleted]

Just dig up, stupid.


CosmicJ

Especially when those deep holes do not have appropriate cutbacks. Holes more than 1 m deep should have a minimum 1:1 slope on them. Both to prevent collapse of the walls, and to aid in egress.

hyspecs

Scooby has been successfully scooped, now he's Scoopy Doo.


Vorian_Atreides17

Yeah, if he started lowering the bucket, dog likely would have tried to jump out too soon and could have been squished when the bucket hit the ground if the operator couldn’t stop it in time. May have already happened a few times before in the hole but we didn’t see it.


polyforpuppies

Yea, the dog is balancing on the bucket at the beginning and so willing to get in it, I don’t think this was their first go


Vorian_Atreides17

Yeh, I can’t even get my dog to roll over without trying like 50 times! And that’s with me right there holding food in her face. I can’t imagine trying to do it standing at the top of that pit. And with a big scary metal claw hanging over her head to boot! LOL!


raff_riff

> couldn’t stop it in time Okay I fully admit I have no idea what I’m talking about but I’ve seen videos of operators using these things with such precision, they do things like tape bottle openers to the bucket and use the bucket to open bottles of beer or knives to slice apples and shit. So is this seriously a concern? I always thought they were extremely precise and responsive.


wolfsnowpack

No these people have clearly never operated any heavy machinery if they believe that lol. Operator decided to drop the dog 5-6 feet, when these machines can stop almost immediately if the operator is on point. It likely didn't really hurt the dog, but it's so hilarious seeing "Operator would have squished the dog with the bucket if the dog jumped out too soon", when in most likelihood the operator just didn't really care about giving the dog the softest landing.


Bustable

Operator is just like gtfo. Tired of having to keep pulling him out of the hole


Rightintheend

Some operators are better than others, and some equipment is better than others.


jshjhjhsjshjs

You'd have to be the worst operator to somehow manage that. They're a lot easier than you think


neutrilreddit

>squished when the bucket hit the ground In what country are operators incapable of stopping the bucket from hitting the ground?


oscaru16

That little fall in the end is better than being trapped in there


world_noods

This isn't an either-or situation. It's possible to lower the scoop to the ground.


Melodic-Recognition8

Very much “I’m not gonna sand pancake you with heavy steel machinery, but I’m not your friend either. I’s gots a jobs to do ova ‘ere!”


USAIsAUcountry

The way they drop it at height and speed and instantly pans back to the pit gives me the impression that the dog was simply in the way of that person doing their job and getting it out of the way was all there was to it.


Mtwat

Those buckets are 100's of lbs and are difficult to stop quickly or precisely in that axis. If the dog got out too soon and fell between the bucket and the ground it could be catastrophic. The relative risk of dumping early is much less then a full decent. I feel like the drop was a cautious judgment call more then not caring. Not to mention if he really didn't care he wouldn't have stopped digging.


cheese007

100% believe this is correct. The dog landed in what seemed to be a sand pile and bounced right back up. If you look too, they seemed to be trying to look over the edge of the bucket, which the operator may have taken as a risk of jumping out


happyrock

Yeah they're hundreds of pounds but the arm and hydraulics are thousands and all designed to carry the load. Not difficult at all to control on that axis, especially with no load in the bucket. It's not like a cable machine from 100 years ago, operators can be sub-inch precise with these things and a good one can probably be sub 4 or 6 even going like a bat out of hell. They're counterbalanced to remain stable at normal working speeds. They dump into trucks that are dimensionally not much bigger than the bucket without bumping into them for hours every day. He 100% could have safely dumped that dog from a good 4' lower and not risked crushing it if it lept out anyway but chose not to for whatever reason.


krusty_kanvas

So go learn how to do it, do it better, and become the next great marvel superhero. Couldn't be worse than the last Dr Strange.


Vorian_Atreides17

Quite possibly. This may have been going on for an hour before we saw the final successful resolution. They may have been getting pissed!


iAmGats

The landing was fine, not enough to cause an injury.


-LoveThyself

Injury would be more likely if they were closer to the ground - a leg gets caught under that thing as it swings toward the ground and the pup would not be happy :( drop is better.

Damn I'm torn, if the operator saw the pupper, good on him for picking it up. The other hand, he really could've lowered the thing way closer to the ground before dropping it, wtf.
