Question:

Is driving bulldozers dangerous? Can they flip? Cos i saw this one the other day..?

yeah and it looked like supercool fun and he was on top of this really huge pile of dirt and making it bigger my pulling the dirt up only it looked kind of dodgey and it looked like he could flip that thing? Does that happen much? Can you jump for it or does it have a roll cage?

Answer:

Yes they can flip. Should be wearing a seat belt and the rollcage will usually protect you
Yes very dangerous work. Yes they can (and do ) flip over. Yes some have a roll cage built into them to protect operator in the event of a roll over. No it is not advisable to try and jump from the tractor as you will definitely get hurt then. Yes it is super cool fun to operate. Safety first as those types of equipment are 1 very heavy, 2 very loud, 3 very large. It can easily roll over a pedestrian nearby and the driver would not even notice it. They can destroy anything they hit as they are not easy to stop. It takes several days of training to be accomplished enough to learn how to operate one safely. Years before you are an expert at it.
yeah they can flip, but they can stand them selves up. you know the scoop it has so it can shovel things, it uses that to ger up. ive seen one flip its cool how they get up again.
