Caught hasty people breaking machines (8)

'breaking machines' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'caught hasty people' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'caught' could be 'c' (cricket abbreviation) and 'c' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rushers' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
