That one day the load shifted and I almost lost it

Had a 12-ton beam swing sideways on me last Tuesday when a brake line failed on the crawler. Scariest 4 seconds of my career and now I'm checking every single hydraulic line before we lift anything over 5 tons. Anybody else had a near miss that changed how you prep for lifts?

Sam, you ever seen a buddy get his leg crushed by a 2-ton block? Changes your whole safety check.
