Improvisational cowboy rampies obviously skip safety procedures

[3WE]

Great video.

We also see the ISGTOOM (tug operator) invoke fundamental rampmanship to save the nearby aeroplanie from did dieing.

Physical punishment for having the service thingie in gear with beverages in position to hit controls.

Upon close review, the damn thing is a golf cart- LOL and oh the 4-ironing

Yes, ban everything aviation. (and golf)

I think we need to start a new thread here: press releases from airlines that do NOT include the phrase "safety is our first priority". If there are any.

Oh and ban bottled water.

Slightly serious: can those things be "in gear"? I've never operated a golf cart but thought the "user interface" consisted of two pedals: one for "go", the other for "stop". Plus a steering wheel. Maybe an ignition key if you ordered the "prestige package"?

Continuing with slightly serious discussion:

They generally have a key, AND a separate power-off switch, AND a brake...so there is some semblance of uber-aviational-safety-triple-redundancy...and I would ass usme that procedures call for the use of all three...

Of course there is probably NOT a WDND to monitor nor a printed acronym checklist, and possibly limited oversight.

If they didn't before, I bet they will soon!

Correction:

I recall:

1. A Key (light wiring that operated relays)
2. A Forward/Reverse and perhaps NEUTRAL lever (an electrical thing as opposed to a transmission)
3. A power switch (that unhooked the high-amperage stuff) (I don't recall if it was readily accessible or under the seat.)
4. Some sort of brake locking mechanism.

I operated the cart (with trailer) for the kiddo's marching band a few times...YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO TURN FINAL TO A 100 YARD FIELD WITH A FEW HUNDRED POUNDS OF DRUMS AND CHIMES AND CRAP BEHIND YOU...YOU ONLY TALK ABOUT IT AND PONTIFICATE ON DISCUSSION FORUMS! I LIVED IT!

And, yes my memories of the exact switching and brake line hydraulic pressure are admittedly fuzzy- but I don't think I had anti-skid braking.

A DISASTER was averted, according to Argie media. No mention if it was going to be a TOTAL didaster, or of what kind.
