There is a video on YouTube were they set a geine MEWP on a slope to full height and pull heavy dummy out of basket with fall arrester on and it doesn't go over.

A genie lift is a heavy bit of kit, totally different to a tow behind/spiderlift etc.

Yes you are correct but the safety weight and figures on spider and towable one's safe working loads are miner to what they are tested to.

A mewp harness should restrain you within the basket/prevent you climbing/falling out..

That's spot on. Mewp are required to have two connection points (can have more, depending on the carrying capacity of the machine) that you connect a lanyard to.

The goal is to keep the person(s) in the basket and prevent them from being launched out of it.
