A comment on Injury, Death When Boom Lift Falls In Kansas City Crane Accident

I'm not the one who says it is not fall protection, the manufacturers state it as fall restraint. They claim that the purpose is to keep you in the platform. Personal Fall Protection prevents you from hitting the ground, not from falling. Guardrails prevent a fall from happening which lifts have. How can you fall out of the platform, unless you gain additional height by standing on something which you are forbidden from doing. You are right about driving elevated though, while they are designed to drive elevated it is a scary thing to do.

Seems like Jeff thinks he's an expert. My lanyard isnt fall protection? While i agree you are half right about it being catupult protection..is also to keep you from falling out of your basket while you are working..doesnt that make it fall protection. Jumping out is certainly not much of an option. From what i understand these recent deaths were caused by driving with the boom in the air which my company prohibits. I feel perfectly safe i work everyday fully extended on 120's and 125's.

In 2009 i had an accident with my Toyota Corolla,fabricated in 2004 in Turkey.

Data point to Toyota's throttles, not floor mats
(L.A.Times November 29, 2009)

A comment on Toyota Sudden Acceleration Recall: Company Vows To "Make Better Cars"

Safety experts agree that the floor mats are just a part (and likely a small part) of the sudden acceleration problem. Toyota had a marked increase in sudden acceleration events after it introduced an electronic throttle control in 2002. Many of the accelerator malfunctions have occurred in vehicles with no floor mats at all. You can learn more and get updates at More ...
