Not good. I cant see what would have took it over because the yard is just flat concrete.

Never good to hear things like this

This was last year if I remember, I was driving south on the M25 and this happened around 20mins after I passed, frightening and tragic.

Really bad indeed. This incident happened about a year ago. The machine was at fault I believe, and a notice sent out to all of the machine owners- I can't remember the exact details. I'm sure it was mentioned in a thread on here, maybe someone else knows where to find it...

Has similar one whe I was assessing

They were changing bulbs in street lamps

Drove from lamp to lamp with guy on cherry picker

Stopped bit fast and flicked him off top

 

Accident investigation tried to replicate it

And almost fliked another guy off top

Broke his ribs I think

Been using one of these for the past three weeks though only a 16m boom. Still a massive wake up call.
