Why yes, they did put the outrigger on the load side into the grass with nothing under it to prevent it from trying to dig it's way to the water table.

This is the kind of thing a couple sheets of plywood could have prevented. But that would be like.....effort.

Better yet, park the truck the correct way (yes, that would involve more plywood or mats) so you aren't doing an extended lift ninety degrees off the side.

What would be the correct way? (legit question) It seems like the boom should be coming off the back of the truck so that the cab etc could have more leverage as a counter weight?

The boom goes in the same direction the weight does, since that's the direction the truck will be trying to tip in. But you need to distribute the downforce from the boom across a large surface area. If you just stick it on something soft like dirt or sand it'll push it aside and let the truck tip over.

By a similar token I think the correct truck orientation is to have the cab facing towards the direction the weight moves in, simply because the base of the crane attaches closer to the back of the truck than the front.

The potential weight of the cab as counterweight is dwarfed by the use of the cab to shorten the fulcrum

I do have to wonder what the hell they were loading up that managed to tip the truck over. Or is the crane itself heavy enough to do this if the outriggers aren't set up properly?

Orlando police officers say no one was inside the home at the time, and no one from Beyel Brothers Crane and Rigging or workers from a roofing company were injured. The homeowner said they were just having their roof replaced when the accident happened.

Looks like it was just roofing materials or something related. This company apparently has had several (three?) instances of cranes tipping over. In this case it was due to the outrigger sinking in soft rain-soaked earth according to an investigator in a news story I found.

The crane itself is more than enough at that angle and extension.

Something beyond its limits. Or they were within the limits but the pavement/tiles/mud under the outriggers wasn't as solid as it looked like. Additionally you have to take wind into consideration, but it doesn't look like there's been a storm.

It's kind of hard to tell either from the photo, though. The angle may have changed after it tilted, too.

I wonder if it was meant to be a bed and that's what caused the beam on the end there to split like it has.

That's a thing in Europe isn't it? Old houses will come with furniture because it's so old an heavy no one wants to move it. Imagine buying a French villa that claims to be furnished already, and it's just filled with the previous owner's pallet wood construction.

Sometimes, when you're very lucky, you get to haul all the shingles up the ladder on your shoulder while trying not to fall to your death.

When I was having shingles delivered, the guy set up a ladder and then rode the pallet of shingles up on the crane to get himself up to the roof. I don’t recall if he used the ladder to get back down or if it was just for plausible deniability if there was an accident
