As I have said previously. Also, their slouched position makes it so when they are running towards you the only thing you can hit is their head. Health isn't a big deal if you score repeated headshots. They are like other mobs in the game, in that they are no problem if you stay with your teammates.

"Digger was put in to balance the immunity to damage granted by melees. Trip helps the Digger in its role with sneak attacks. If it didn't have its trip abillity, it would be useless as I someone would easily be able to handle it with a melee and the Digger would not be able to damage a survivor due to the immunity granted by melees. Digger was obliviously given trip to balance immunity as you can fight off the entire server like this guy at 1:00."
