NO WE DID NOT DO IT just like he did. LOL We might be stupid but not THAT stupid. We did it with a crawler that had a full roll cage and rear brush guard, but it did have the exact same draw bar and hookup. Plus we did it at half the speed that he was going at. (We did later do it at full speed but where never able to get it to even tighten the safety chain.) We also had a limit chain tied to another trailing crawler. We where doing it with the state investigating OSHA team there. They investigate all accidents that are deemed life ending. Even though he was only hurt bad it was still judged as a fatal type accident.(Meaning that 80% of the time the same event would have caused a fatality.) They could not even get the computer models to show how it could have happened. The man that was injured had done everything correct according to the rules at the time. His crawler even had a roll bar and cage. It just did not have a full rear brush cage. The log mashed the seat and hydraulic tank down to the transmission. It also broke the winch off of the back mount. This was a D6 Cat and the log was twenty-four feet long and three feet in diameter. Needless to say all three of their crawlers now have FULL brush cages. They block your view some but he was very lucky to have lived. If he had not glanced back that log would have hit him right square in the head.
