Had a whole crew chasing a runaway excavator in Denver
We were working a site off I-70 last Tuesday, and my buddy Dave forgot to set the parking brake on his 320. It started rolling down a slight grade toward a porta-potty. Three of us had to sprint and jump into a skid steer to cut it off before it turned that blue box into confetti. Honestly, it was like a bad cartoon. Anyone else ever have a machine decide to go for a walk on its own?

Always chock the tracks, even on flat ground. Saved my ass more than once.

Yeah, that feeling when a machine just takes off is the worst. Glad you caught it.
