He did a bunch of stuff wrong here for sure.....no trailer brakes being the first one that comes to mind....



 
I wonder if the Dozer operator stayed on or jumped off, Lol. At least the Dozer is able to unload and bury the remains of the trash....

If you haven't already blow it up to full size when playing......

That hill is steeper than it looks from what I see.

I have hauled some big stuff on a lowboy and I have never lifted the front axle. They should have stopped and run the dozer back on the deck a few feet at the first sign of that action....or run the fifth wheel ahead if it was adjustable...........plus made sure the trailer brakes were working...dumbasses......

In a previous life I did towing & recovery. Had a guy with a CJ7 try to tow a cigarette boat on a 36' trailer (with only surge brakes) across town when he moved. In the middle of the main street downtown he stopped at a red light on an uphill incline. When the light turned green and he let out the clutch the weight of the boat started pulling him backwards down the hill. With the brakes locked on the Jeep he slid down a full block, through another intersection, and right into a bakery storefront.

As I was removing what was left of the boat he was wondering out loud what went wrong. Had no clue why things turned ugly so fast. "I moved it around my yard all the time."
 
Did you ever notice that when these types of videos surface, there is always someone running after the truck or machine? Yep, that little 150# guy was sure going to make a difference if he caught up to it.

My guess is, it's in a country that's a "If the engine runs, do it" type of place.
