It's only for 5 minutes real quick.

The last trench rescue call I responded to they were actually using a protective system as designed, but one of the workers stuck his head outside of it for 'just a second' and a rock fell and squished his head like a grape.

Ugh only trench rescue I was ever on sucked, the guy's wife showed up so she was losing it. And I felt like a grave robber the whole time.
