    Very skillful
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Bloody dangerous, the cabs only connected to the dump body by a big arse ball joint and a couple of steering rams.
    I have seen a few part company due to harsh wear and tear.

    Yeah all fun and games when you’re not paying the bills. I’ve not seen a full separation, but plenty of situations where the cab or bin is on the ground 90 degrees out of orientation to the other

    Back in the day our Terex dumper drivers would do that in their 150 tonners. But not for the shits and giggles, more to spray water all over the electrics (diesel-electric drive) so they could have some down time. Lazy buggers. Might have had something to do with the bottle of Bundaberg they skulled each evening. Back when Aussie mines were wet.

    Back in the day when you could still get away with a bit of tomfoolery it was bloody good fun with a twin powered motor scraper, get spinning and keep the power on the back motor.
