This happened at CSU 10 years ago. The CSU kid survived though.

On some of these lifts, you get on them at ground level and they scissor up to their height. Like a cherry picker, there is no ladder down.
Like this one (similar to what CU uses):
If that's the case, he could not have climbed down, he would have to be dependent on somebody lowering him. I don't know that is what happened, but it is true for some camera platforms. We don't know whether or not he was calling or texting or asking anyone to LOWER him, either.
Somebody on the ground should have been aware of the danger. There should be a maximum wind allowed.
Very very sad news.
On all the scissor lifts Ive worked on, the wind would have to be higher than 60. Anything about what kind of lift this was?
Guess it just depends on the type, either way, this shouldnt have happened. He should have had fall equipment, just in case. Thats code for working at heights 6ft or over here, I havent worked in Indiana. Did the thing tip or did he fall off it? I guess it did tip, just read it. I hope it wasnt the lift I think it was.
