@gcunning12 · 8m Delay to racing here at Hamilton. A couple of the camera crew have fallen from the cherry picker basket onto the roof of the Racetech truck. Emergency services are on the grounds so fingers crossed. |

By:
Sounds pretty serious.
|
|
By:
That sounds awful. Fingers crossed for them.
|
|
By:
Hope these guys are ok. I would think that an investigation may have to take place here. HSE and/or police. May not go ahead this meeting.

I hope they are going to be OK, what an absolutely dreadful thing to have happened.
|
|
By:
those cherry pickers go seriously high
|
|
By:
I can't stand heights, always gives me shivers seeing someone do that job.
|
|
By:
hope its not to bad
|
|
By:
The H&S Working at Height regulations very tight and you cannot take any chances. A full risk assessment, method statement, safety plan is needed to keep workers safe from injury. This would include "out riggers" to stop toppling and individual harnesses locked to the cradle rails to prevent falling. Unless rules are breached it is pretty much impossible to fall from one of these things in operation.

What the f...k are we doing in this country having men go up in a cherry picker to film the racing?
Haven't the BHA and racecourses heard of purpose built camera towers? |
|
By:
Wonder when they will decide this is abandoned or not?

cherrypickers 1st used - open golf championship bbc

|
By:
Health and safety guidelines say you have to wear a safety harness in a cherry picker so it should be impossible to fall out

Racing has been abandoned
@HamiltonParkRC due to an incident on the course |
|
By:
Sadly that makes it sound like a fatal incident now.
|
|
By:
One guy being treated at the scene and the other on route to hospital.
|
|
By:
Sounds like the cherry-picker toppled rather than the guys just falling out...Graham Cunningham said something about the machine being at 8 o'clock angle...Been up them myself as a passenger and certainly felt very vulnerable..
|
|
By:
its the contradiction of harnesses in cherry pickers by law your connected to the picker all well and good till the picker itself topples and your going down with it,argued about for years at safety meetings
|
|
By:
the 2 cameramen seriously injured and in hospital.
