Don't know how he did it but all we could do was stand there with our jaws on the ground in amazement.

Not too hard Eric, just throw on the retarder in a wet pit and off she goes like a slow motion ballet
. When I was in Newman (1975) they used to have a yearly fair for want of a better description. On display were utes that had been run over by loaded 200 tonne haulpaks with the driver surviving somehow. Ever seen a 1 ft high holden 1 tonner? A good friend of mine was killed by one of these machines. She was driving a mini and was flattened by the water truck.
