Two thrown from basket -No Harnesses
Two men painting an apartment building in Richmond, New South Wales were thrown from their truck mounted lift after it lost stability and tipped.
The men aged 36 and 50 fell around six metres to the ground while the lift remained upright. It seems clear that they were not wearing harnesses.
