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.
If you enjoyed this article, please consider sharing it!

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.
