Not good, really odd that a person would pick then carry with the bucket high like that, learned didn't they, hopefully it was shut down, I forget how the oil pick up is in these, I assume its designed for sharp angles, but.... this is excess. if that had been open station and no windshield, he'd have been tossed for sure. I saw a foreman early one morning kiss the stack of a 850 JD, just going over a small berm, one does have to use a little care with these LOL !
Your photo totally reminded me of what happened. 21 years ago too. DM Macks were tough trucks, but it was the body and I just came to rest on it, was loading myself, ole #8 too, I have a photo of that truck somewhere. Funny how when it let loose, just as I go over the sideboards. I did not even flinch, but was like what in the heck was that ? I just had to walk under the draw bar, when could you ever do that again ? Sure wish I had a photo. Boss did not find out, but maybe he did, but he'd have said go back up there, put the seatbelt on, and get er out, which I did anyway. The GC's super really liked me on that job, he had me do all the delicate work around utilities when I was on the backhoe, called my boss and always asked for me, to me that was the highest compliment an operator could get, I really appreciated it. I somehow left a key for the 977L, so on a particular saturday, that super could take his son for a quick ride on the 977L, would have liked to see the expression on the boys face, boy did I like riding along when I was a kid too. I said just don't stand er on end LOL !
