One time, we had a massive water leak in the ceiling, GM plants ran everything overhead. The place was flooding, but they had to wait until I had my harness on. If I didn't have it on and something happened, NO one would stick up for me, pass out the life jackets! I rented a lift here at home to clean the gutters.

I live on a lift for my Fire sprinkler job. This is the worst case scenario. It looks like he’s well prepared. He needs to go play the lottery. He’s as lucky as one can get
The lift actually wasn't damaged. He was moving the lift and one of the wheels fell into a diamond plate utility box cover because the lid was not designed for that kind of weight. He was very lucky.
@@Craftsman4Life when he was working he had his deck up against the side of that building. He was working on the window framing. So when that tire went through that utility vault door, you know it threw him back and forth several times. Look how far away he is from the building right now.
Probably didn't want to move it because any shift in weight could make it fall over if it's stuck in that utility hole. I doubt he was that worried. They're used to being up high like that.
Im in these all the time at work, you have to respect the machine and know what you are driving on. Probably should have been in the street with it flagged off. The streets are rated for a semi truck and trailer, the sidewalk a mother pushing a stroller and walking the dog😅
He was working on those windows on the side of the building. He was moving from one window to another and drove over a utility Vault lid. The utility lid could not support the weight and one of the wheels went into the utility vault. That caused the bucket to swing away from the building and throwing him back and forth inside the bucket with sure violence. Hopefully he retired those underwear he was wearing...
Bad pre-con planning. Anytime i am working in a established urban environment with “real” heavy equipment, i always walk and take pics and draw up a map for myself on any manhole, electrical vault cover, catch basin or anything whatsoever that is not straight hardscape. This happens more than it should.
And that’s the reason why I always wear a safety harness when operating a boom lift. I’ve been up as high as 120 feet in a lift. The stuff on the ground looks awfully small when you’re up in that basket.
... no Shyt! Man I once got on a large boom lift, to service a CCTV camera, that was mounted on the side of a large American Airline's hanger, at DFW Airport. It was a little breezey that day, but when you are fully extended with the boom, some 90ft in the air, it's scary as hell 😵 This was at one of their large hangers, where they could park like 2 Boeing Jumbos side by side, wing tip to wing tip inside this Enormous hanger. I'd never been so scared 😱 in my life, I was in my late 20's, working for GE Computer Services. I nearly pissed my pants, it was a white knuckle ride, with 3 of us on the platform. The platform could easily hold 8 or 10 people on it, that's how large this boom was.
I used to do cell towers, everywhere in the nation except Las Vegas you would normally climb, but in Vegas its man lifts only, scariest shit ever, rather be on the tower.
That lifter probably weighs around 16t its a biggy! The guy probably had his harness clipped like he should have otherwise he'd probably been catapulted out of it when it whent through the floor. Lucky!
I drove by this job site daily for awhile. The same guys were up there fully boomed up and lightning and thunder was poppin off. No sure if it was before or after this incident… I remember just being like wtffff.
I do commercial garage doors working 30-40ft up. I don't like heights at all so when i first started i was terrified and still to this day it sometimes scares me. but oddly I was never really scared in a boom lift. I just feel more secure i guess. they also make us wear harnesses in them. but i don't like scissor lifts much at all. It's odd because everyone else is more scared of the boom lifts and feel safer in scissor lifts
The man in the orange lift risked his life to save that man , the blue lift if it had fallen could have taken the orange lift with it. I worked construction work for 40 years it is very dangerous at times , paying attention at ALL times is a must.
The guy was working on the sidewall installing window frame parts or something on a new building. He moved the unit over some steel plate doors that went to an underground utility vault . The steel plate doors were not strong enough to support the weight of the unit and one wheel fell in tossing the bucket and the employee about 40 feet away from the wall. Emergency vehicles showed up to retrieve the employee but another man lift retrieved him first
First lesson, what you see on the surface isn't nessecarily what's under the ground. Check all along where you are going to travel a MEWP (Mobile Elevated Working Platform) Fortunatley the guy did have the sense to wear a harness. As the arm whips the major danger is you get thrown out of the basket.
Good Ol’ JLG to the rescue. I know the brand has nothing to do with the hidden sink hole that this guy found. But really tho Genie lifts are junk hahaha glad this dude is ok
These machines are heavy tires are solid filled to hold machine down be aware when moving don't drive over man hole covers /soft ground or cesspool areas
The firefighters came up in their bucket just in time to watch the dude climb into the other workers bucket. Dude in the other bucket was like, why are those dudes wasting their time, I got this.
I would imagine he got bounced back and forth inside that thing a few times. When I got onscene he was sitting low on the deck and not moving. I originally thought he was injured.
@@towtrkdug43 Yes, its in the title .... I was making a point about how far this was filmed from. Lost on you though ....... I understand why you have towtrk in your name now.
Make sure that you have a rescue plan on how to use. And a person on the ground. 'Spotter'. To assist you to get down. That knows how to operate it with the battery or machine running. And know the controls. Plus who to call. In case of a serious emergency. Most of all safety harnesses and don't panic and get training. And inspections every day. You will save your life and others. And Go home safety every day.
I hate the Genies... they never live up to my overall expectations meaning the controls are too loose when using. I perfer the JLG, their controls are more fine tuned and accurate.
Looks like a couple of plucked turkeys on the sidewalk. Too much load. Too little substrate integrity. Poor operator. Tower Crane should have been on it with a sling. Scary.
@towtrkdug43 lmaoo dummy, that's the joke. If you worked with these daily, you would know that anytime things go wrong on those types of machinery, someone is always there to be like, "Did you do a pre use?" It's the joke. A pre use woulda done nothing. You slow.
I bet he got bounced around in there pretty good. The whole time I was there he was sitting down and glued to the floor. He wasn't moving so I thought he was hurt but he moved as soon as help arrived.
Its a standard rescue, incase of an accident you need another lift to carryout a basket to basket rescue should be covered under the risk assesment.. It looks like he may not have carried out a detailed inspection of ground conditions. In the EU it is law to harness yourself in one of those 3 a and 3b machines as you can be potentially catapulted out of it according to IPAF rules.
That's not an accident! That's a rescue!

I call them Second responders. The first responders were already there and taking care of stuff.
Hahaha right
How the hell did that guy not get tossed out of the basket?
I bet he got bounced around in there pretty good. The whole time I was there he was sitting down and glued to the floor. He wasn't moving so I thought he was hurt but he moved as soon as help arrived.
@@towtrkdug43yeah he must have bounced around on his lanyard like a paddle ball then somehow climbed back in. I don’t know. Bad day.
@@waynedurning8717 A good day actually. Easily could have gone worse ! Lucky...
If he was wearing the right lanyard he shouldn’t have been able to get thrown out of the basket.
@@cosmicinsane516 what's the right kind of lanyard in this situation? The only ones I've ever seen are about the same.
Its a standard rescue, incase of an accident you need another lift to carryout a basket to basket rescue should be covered under the risk assesment.. It looks like he may not have carried out a detailed inspection of ground conditions. In the EU it is law to harness yourself in one of those 3 a and 3b machines as you can be potentially catapulted out of it according to IPAF rules.
