A couple of years back I was wiring an inground swimmimg pool and the homeowner was using a rented backhoe. In the course of the day he hit his house twice with the boom and backed into the kids swingset. He should have put his tie on and went to the office that day.

I was gonna post that link, JD, but I avoided it because of the language the guy uses.
That just goes to show you that you're better off riding it out than trying to bail off.
In all reality you're probably safer in the medium sized machine. There is more steel around you to protect you and you've got glass around you that can help keep limbs inside a safe area preventing them being crushed.
So, JD. What do ya say? Trade loaders?

Apparently some guys I know were very bored one day, and decided to try this out. You take the biggest excavator you can find, get a guy to run the machine and another to crawl in the bucket. Close the bucket and claw. Then you lift it up and spin it around 360 like a carnival ride.....I wish to heaven I was kidding.....I can only hope these guys dont reproduce.....
dumber than nails....
