That moment a new operator ignored the load chart and nearly tipped us over

Working a job in Denver last Tuesday, a guy fresh out of school started extending the boom without checking the radius. Load was 4,200 pounds and he had it out to 70 feet with the wrong counterweight setting. You ever have to grab the controls from someone who wouldn't listen to the chart?

@sagep19 people ignoring charts is just the Denver way of life now.

Man, I've done that but with a taco tray instead of a boom.
