None of these operators are idiots! They're all carrying out dangerous work obviously, but they're operating the machinery as intended and any type of heavy engineering work has high risk. Earthmoving and demolition companies don't bring heavy lift cranes with them to each job to load and unload excavators and the plant demolishing the concrete is specifically designed for that purpose. Jumping out of a plane is dangerous too but we don't call Paratroopers idiots for doing a job which their trained to do.

I work on rail, one of the machines we use is an excavator with wheels instead of tracks and a roller attachment on the end of the boom, it's used for threading rail into position. I came back from lunch one day and the operator had this thing on the 2 side wheels balancing with the boom out putting the rail in at full traversal speed, was like someone crossed the blues brothers with the transformers. He put in about 2kms of rail both sides in an hour or so, amazing to watch.
