Cherry Picker Overturns Whilst Being Unloaded, Throwing Man Onto the Pavement
Overport, Durban, South Africa A man lost his life in a workplace accident involving a cherry picker crane outside a shopping mall. According to emergency responders, the cherry picker overturned during the process of being unloaded from a transport vehicle. The driver, estimated to be in his thirties, was thrown from the equipment and suffered critical injuries. Paramedics arrived quickly, but after assessment, they pronounced him dead at the scene due to the severity of his wounds. Initial reports describe the event as an unexpected mishap, with no signs of external interference. The precise cause remains undetermined pending further examination. |

That looked pretty survivable. I'm guessing he was either very out of shape, or he landed JUST right.

Are you kidding ? He was catapulted on the ground with extreme force, all the vectors (which I couldn't explain) seem to have teamed together to make him kiss the asphalt  |

In any event, he's picked his last cherry.

Well, I'm just pointing out it wasn't very high off the ground. If landing "just right" was hurried along by physics, that's certainly a plausible explanation.

Sure, he didn't fall from a great height. But that speed though... I wasn't antagonizing you in the slightest ;-) We can both agree that he's dead and that's the end point  |

he wasn't thrown to the ground any faster than gravity could pull him, if you watch the video and focus on him rather than the machine. not the way i see it, anyway.  |

Re: Cherry Picker Overturns Whilst Being Unloaded, Throwing Man Onto the Pavement
Yup you're right, I was too focused on the structure. He did a hell of a faceplant though, which kinda hints as a "just right" (or wrong  ) thing as Anal Dough was saying |

Well, that's one way to bust your cherry. Pretty dumb to attempt that, and no helmet was worn either. |

Re: Cherry Picker Overturns Whilst Being Unloaded, Throwing Man Onto the Pavement
Great point. It may have saved his life. And the company could get the shit fined out of them for not enforcing regulations...assuming anyone over there gives a shit about such things.
