Jeremy Renner in intensive care

I know there are some practical realities to that kind of vehicle but seems quite badly designed in that respect.

Was just going to say the same thing. If (as per the comment above) that these machines should be left running until finished with to avoid it not starting again, then you'd expect to be able to jump in and out of the cab whilst it's running - if that's the case you'd have thought there would be a safer way of getting in.

Either way, if the brakes were applied then it shouldn't have moved, so will be interesting to hear if the brakes failed, or just weren't applied correctly.
 
First thing I thought when I saw a picture of one. Designed so the only way into the cabin is to climb over the massive tracks? So if there is some sort of issue where it starts moving with no-one in the cab, you're basically screwed then.

30 plus bones? Jesus....

Whilst it sounds a lot each hand has 27 bones & each foot has 26 bones each (106 bones in total), plus there's 24 ribs as well so you can mount up quite a large number of broken bones but when it includes the "long" bones like legs/arms, which most of us think of, and spine then you start to run into recovery issues.

In the images he's released in his Hospital bed I notice his left thigh is kept hidden (accidentally/deliberately, don't know) which, when added to the large blood loss from his leg as reported, makes me think that the crushed chest isn't his biggest concern for long term recovery.
 
I hope he's recovers well although i feel he might lose his leg. One thing for sure his days as Hawkeye are over and probably retire from acting in general.
 
He's out and had an Instagram post up that showed both legs still attached. However, that doesn't prove anything other than both legs are still attached. So the extent of the injuries remain a mystery.
 
The user manual for these is very clear on the parking and exit procedure.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:- STOPPING / EXITING
1. Park the vehicle where it is clearly visible.
2. Lower the front and rear auxiliary driven implements, switch off the tiller, set the direction of travel switch to "neutral".
3. Switch off the engine.
4. Apply the parking brake
5. Remove the ignition key from the lock.
6. Fully raise the steering-wheel column and the left armrest.
7. Step on to the track. ** Danger of slipping on the track when entering and exiting the driver's cab. Always take a firm grip on the grab handle at the driver's door when exiting the vehicle.**
8. Lock the driver's cab.
 
Good to see he's OK and back on his feet, but boy he looks rough. Aged 10 years i reckon...understandably.

The video on that bbc link is so badly done though - the voice over "one man's will to survive". Hmm.
