Excavator Tries to Cartwheel

not cartwheeling to escape to fall than not,

A yellow excavator slides, tumbles, and crashes down a steep rocky quarry slope, intercut with footage of a tiny jumping spider apparently cartwheeling. The mock-nature-documentary narration compares the machine’s clumsy imitation to the spider’s graceful escape, ending with the excavator’s “ascent to the heavens” meaning it dies; the dramatic music makes the absurd accident even funnier.

It is not uncommon for machines in the mechanical kingdom to mimic what they observe in the animal kingdom. Unfortunately, this act of imitation can sometimes turn deadly. Much like the cartwheeling spider found in the deserts of Morocco, the excavator will also attempt to tumble down hills to escape the danger of deadly predators. However, the excavator does not have the ability to fall with the same delicacy and grace as this species of huntsman spider. More often than not, this descent off a cliff will lead to an ascent to the heavens to meet the mechanical gods. That's just a cool way to say this fall leads to their death. Sometimes machines can be dumb.
