"Today on 100 Ways to Die, we watch as Andrew continues to recover his roller while enlisting the help of a guy that has never driven a roller. Up a snowy mountain. Covered in ice. Later we will talk to that friend and ask if they are evaluating that friendship right about now." Great content sir. Entertaining and informative as always! Keep em coming. And dont die.

Similar type of accidents happen on jobs. The reason why no one died is because they observed basic safety rules (may not seem like that but they did). Also, you make it sound like driving a roller is something complicated, it's not. Doing a good job with it is a bit more nuanced but driving it is not.

Training tells you to never stand in front or behind a piece of construction equipment when you are starting it. The chances of the vehicle moving is low but it still is a possibility. Where does Andrew stand when they are starting the skidder????? Directly in front of it. Insane.

The guy driving the roller needs to understand that you must never let any slack come into the tow line, that is the key to being towed well and without mishap, in my humble opinion. Mind you, those articulated machines are not easy for a novice to handle. It takes practice to get the hang of it.

A roller like that isn't made to run up icy hills so the tires are just fine for what it's made to do and tire chains on it is just stupid to put on it now when he's got it up the hill already. He wasn't trying to roll the road going up the icy hill if anyone thinks that. This was just getting it to the top so he could use it. If there wasn't ice on the road it would have went up the hill fine. When he get the rock spread out on that hill that roller will go up and down it no problem. As far as needing a newer one there's nothing wrong with this one when it's used to do the job its made for. The ice was the problem in this video not the tires, not being without tire chains on the roller, and certainly not the machine. The idiot driving it once they got it on the road wasn't helping at all either. If he drives a car with the same skills he applied to driving the roller I'm surprised he's still alive.

@@MattyDardani Matty, I know you have taken a lot of flak in the comments ……. But you are right ……. Half the problem was lack of communication. If the guy with the camera (who could see best what was happening) had a simple air horn and you all agreed on a couple of signals …… like for FF sake stop, it would have made it a little less dangerous. Andrew was being a bit bullheaded at first too by not stopping a couple of times sooner and checking to see how you were doing. Thank god no real harm came to anyone. I am all for a bit of fun but some common sense is needed to avoid disaster too. That road up the mountain is treacherous even in good weather and especially with sketchy equipment. These 2 videos may have been very “entertaining” to everyone but I would not recommend too many of these kind of ventures. If someone loses an arm or a leg or gets crushed, friendships and fun and games are all forgotten very quickly. Then everyone feels like a real fool when they are sitting in front of half a dozen attorneys at a deposition trying to justify why they are not responsible for what happened. I don’t want to rain on anyones parade but I hope you all learned a little from this experience and agree on a little more thought about how not to kill yourselves in a totally avoidable “accident” in future adventures. I am older now and believe me I did plenty of dumb things in my life that brought me within seconds of death. I definitely tried to learn from my risky decisions. Life altering mishaps/accidents happen when you least expect them …… afterwards you look back and wonder “what the hell was I thinking when I did that”. If you live long enough you will see stuff happen to people where they bore no fault in what misfortune fell upon them ………. None of us need to go out of our way to put ourselves in harms way. Plenty of things can happen due to the carelessness of others. Sorry for going on so long …… just wanted to offer you some defense on the flak you were getting and couldn’t help but throw in some advice too 😀 (I had an accident myself which severed fingers which was my own fault ….. and was also sued for $50m when a subs employee fell down a shaft and was seriously injured. Neither event was something I would recommend anyone to have to go through)

@@berserkir Of course You're right - not many with a compareable workethic also do film what they do and then upload that on KZbin - which makes him special in a way, I agree with You in that point. The stunts and his bottomless redneckery do make for a lot of the extra fun though. As a motorbiker and somewhat of a "redneck" myself I do know how not doing everything with a safety pant, ironcapped boots and unbreakable goggles on makes things more fun by times. "No risk no fun" is still à point. Just make sure it will lead in the worst case to some pittoresque scars to impress the ladies, not to Your instant death. That's a fine line to walk, as we recently saw losing Ken Block, but he definitely had his fair share of fun up to the last breath I reckon.

A few moments of sheer terror and it looked like that roller was going to take you and the skidder for a helluva ride. But, it was nice to see that you allowed some decent mechanical advantage to assist you out of that mess. You used two pulleys - if you had enough cable on the skidder, I would have suggested three pulleys. But, you still got that thing up that mountain. Now, I will say a little prayer for the day you start using that to roll that new stone you are placing on the roadway. You get that roller pointed downhill on some of that freshly laid stone, you might be going for that joyride to that bottom of the mountain anyway.

Anyone can buy better machines and keep things safer. Not many can make things work and achieve what he’s done… castle, land and more land, moving mountains literally with hardly any start-up help and capital. So instead of getting on our high horse and preaching, let’s appreciate young Andrew and his dreams. He is far from ordinary, definitely way above average IQ and motivation, hardworking and still managing a decent amount of humility despite his successes. And although he has room for improvement, so does everyone, especially me. SO keep it up AC and keep it safe because we want you around and thriving spirit, soul and body. God bless❗️

Something you said about hand signals later on reaffirmed a thought I had. Learning hand signals is crucial for safety and direction. It's important for the operators and signal men to have trust and faith in each other. Another way to communicate might be to get some decent walkie talkies. Wishing you the best of luck
