Agreed. Operating machines of that type is a dangerous activity to begin with. Even the operator can get himself seriously hurt or killed if he doesn't know what the hell he's doing. That was my father's occupation for well nigh 30 years, operating heavy earth moving machinery, and he had his share of horror stories about what happened to others that showed even a moment's carelessness.

But to crawl on top of a pile of moving shifting rubble being pushed by one of these machines, and who's operator is intent on safely performing the job at hand, rather than some loony-tune trying to make a political point?

My vote for the winner of the annual Darwin Awards.
