** It also has a complicated and obscure shutdown sequence that is not written down anywhere and is only known to three men (two of whom are unconscious, one of whom is in the other side of the world). It requires minutes to take effect even when completed, which is a problem when it has enough mass to tear through towns and forests without pausing and carries enough fuel to destroy a ''dam''.

* NoOSHACompliance: The Crablogger is an atomic-powered logging machine which will '''blow up''' if not shut down properly and can only be shut down through a complicated procedure that is known by only three men (not to mention, it takes upwards five minutes to complete the procedure). It makes you wonder who the heck approved of this design and why a red "emergency stop" button was too simple, then anyone could have stopped it should it have been about to smash through a village or destroy a dam.

The new Crablogger, a vast self-propelled logging and wood-processing machine, is about to undertake its first job; a straightforward processing run through the South American rainforest. However, the crew is struck down by some truly terrible cooking and the system can only be shut down manually. Filled with highly-explosive fuel, the Crablogger is on a collision course with the village of San Martino and the nearly-complete San Marino Dam! While Scott, Virgil and Brains try to save the unconcious drivers, Lady Penelope is charged with finding Jim Lucas, the creator of the Crablogger and the only other man who knows the complex shutdown procedure, before it's too late.

* AbandonShip: Virgil and Brains's first job on gaining access to the runaway Crablogger is to administer first aid to the crew and evacuate them as there is no guarantee Lady Penelope will get the shutdown sequence in time to stop the machine before it crashes.
