РУСФОРУМ АВСТРАЛИЯ

Ох уж эти мальчишки!! )) Все хотят знать, как работает изнутри.

Вчера один из-за этого чуть не погиб. В мусоровозе


A young boy was almost killed on Monday after he hid in a bin that was picked up by a rubbish truck.

The nine-year-old boy – from Yarrawonga – wanted to see what the inside of a rubbish truck looked like and deliberately hid in the bin.

If the driver hadn't spotted the boy in the truck's camera, the hydraulic paddle that crushes the rubbish would have killed the boy, works manager David Geddes of DS Kendell Waste Services told 3AW radio.

"The driver was very alert," said Mr Geddes. "He saw the lad's hands clinging to the inside of the truck and he was able to shut down immediately.

Advertisement "Had the boy been at the level of the paddle, he almost certainly would have been crushed to death."

Failing that, the driver had almost finished his round – after which he would have started the compactor to compress the rubbish.

The driver was "in shock", said Mr Geddes, but had recovered. "He's OK. He's in the truck again today."

The boy had previously been warned about being too close to garbage trucks, Mr Geddes said, because of the danger of being hit by the pick-up arm.

"He obviously has some sort of a fascination with trucks," Mr Geddes said.

He said he was considering letting the boy ride with driver so he could safely observe the truck's operation.

Senior Constable Janis McMillan of Victoria Police said the young would-be garbo was " a lovely young boy". "He's just made a foolish mistake."

The boy escaped the ordeal with a few cuts and bruises, she said.

Речь идет не о любознательном мальчике, а о глупом, за которым не следят родители и он предоставлен сам себе.

Похоже на сюжет из шпионского фильма, наверно мальчик - будущий шпион.

пс. хорошо хоть жив остался.

Почему это он глупый? Если бы знал, что там есть пресс, наверняка бы не полез )

Разве мало мальчиков, которые разбирают разные устройства, чтобы узнать из чего оно сделано или ездят зайцами в поездах или летают в самолетах. Просто ему могло не повезти ))

В таком возрасте и уследить нелегко. Вылез в окно и все

Ну пусть родители привязывают его тогда, раз уследить не могут.
