    The only reason the toddler even found this item was that she had mimicked what she overheard her Daddy doing earlier, googling for some "cheap hoes".

    My neighbor owns a few cranes and backhoes for his business, and he surfs the web for new cranes/vehicles. I can picture his little 4 year old daughter buying something, b/c she likes cranes and trucks.

    There is a business in Germany that lets you use diggers, graders all kinds of big machines. Wives/gf's typically give a gift of x many hours of earthmoving to their partner. I'm in the US but I would love to have some fun at that place....

    @Drew420: I think he's referring not just to the ability to rent it, but a park to use it in - I've seen this on the 'net. It's like a big dirt playground with a bunch of construction machines. It's actually a cool idea.

    if it is real that drivers got balls of f-ing titanium... what's the sign up for that look like- "wanted somebody to make an excavator climb up tower... risks -if the claw breaks you're screwed, if the tower breaks you're screwed- Disclaimer: We [insert company name] take no responsibility if anything fails and you get crushed in a falling excavator" hmm let me think... sign me up sounds like a great deal... NOT

    @ajh0914: It wasn't performed in New York. We have a lovely little law known as Labor Law 240(1) which attaches strict liability to owners and GCs for elevation-related risks. There's no way this stunt would get insured and if it did, the policy cost a bundle.


    Of course, I'm all in favor of construction accidents. More work for me.
