It was operator error, he didn't have his out-riggers down & had his boom way out. He started booming in & the counterweight tipped him over on the sidehill. Real lucky not to have been squashed or to have killed someone with the boom.
Boy, I'm not sure how things work in the US but we had WCB (Workers Compensation Board) milling around here all day. My main objective was to get the crane Wrighted & out of the way & here they are with tape measures & levels measuring everything in sight, taking soil samples etc...meanwhile they're walking right under the crane which if the boom colapses we'll be scraping their flat carcases off the driveway.
It's funny the people they hire for these jobs. You'd think they'd want to hire someone with a little knowledge of the work environment.
"No need to investigate here boys,...this one's fairly straight forward!
