Boom up will catch things

Many of you have sent in a link to a video from Russia of a truck travelling with the boom of its telescopic loader crane in the raised position. So we thought we had better post it, so you all might see it.

It seems that the driver made the classic mistake of leaving the boom up, possibly due to the container on the bed preventing normal storage over the rear, and being a telescopic it looks as though it is too long to stow sideways? It might have gone down over the front though?
As you might imagine the inevitable happened. Click here to go directly to the video

That raised boom is asking for trouble

The music might take you back too...
