Demolished water tank falls on excavator. Looks like the operator tried to bail, but was belted in?

The operator just barely escaped – getting his name in the paper.

I had a similar experience with a large stack of scrap cars... all you can do is slew away to put the boom that side....and hope. Still safer in the cab than out.

What did he expect was to happen?
