You’ve got to watch closely to see it, but keep an eye out throught the left-hand garage door around the 0:16 mark in the video — you’ll see a contractor dump his wheel, tipping over it for a fall.
The good news: in comments we discover that the guy’s OK, if maybe a little ego-bruised.
And if you’ve got a cool Doh! moment you’d like to share — it’s cathartic, really — drop us a line.

should keep you busy for an evening.
Did you notice the guy in blue then comes along and takes the wheelbarrow, but doesn’t even check on the guy who fell?
I did something similar while working as a laborer for a masonry company in college. Only this guy looks like he was hauling gravel. I had wet mortar, which made a fine mess.
Yeah i’ve spilled wet cement before
Speed kills. 😛
Yeah when I worked with wheelbarrows moving concrete (wet or broken), wet dirt, etc. I was taught to let if fall over if it’s going to or I’d hurt my back. For me it’s hard to resist trying to keep it from tipping, but I will.
