Looks like he did from the second photo but maybe overreached with too heavy a load?

Looks like a stand up meeting with the boss later on though…

I reckon you're right. Short rigged it so could park closer to the wall, to get the reach far enough into the property. Looks like there is plenty of space otherwise.

One of my regular recovery places did similar. Didn't put a spreader plate down and the leg went through the pavement while lifting a Cayenne.
Luckily it didn't tip, but it did find it's way onto Tiktok.

They do but you can only reduce the radius not extend it.
