Any clue if that guy/girl survived?
But you have to had put the harness on, correctly. People often will take shortcuts on tasks that they have done over and over with no problems.
I guess that's what I meant when I posted that. I've been known to cut corners when putting on a harness. I was also given a harness once, but no lanyard to tie it to the lift.
I don't know.
Based on that fall, I'd say no.
Think of the G-forces involved there.
