A video clip sent in by a number of readers over the past couple of days or so shows quite dramatically how wearing a harness and lanyard in a boom lift can save your life.
We are not sure when and where it happened - looks cold and snowy.
Ideally the lanyard should be short to stop you leaving the platform, rather than to catch you after falling a couple of metres. Although in this case the longer lanyard might just have helped.. purely due to luck.
Have a safe weekend.

I hope he put some lotto numbers on that night. One lucky man
