      Ok I’ll take this as my opportunity to rant about a pet peeve.

      Wearing a harness in this style of elevating work platform is more dangerous than not wearing one, and having a requirement to do so is part of what’s wrong with work health and safety.

      The only way someone falls out of this, beyond mechanical failure or tipping, is if they lean so far over the railing they fall out of it.

      If I need to wear a harness in this, you need to wear one whenever you walk next to a balcony.

        Nobody is going accidentally bump your balcony with a forklift or any other equipment.

        What? At any job I’ve had you’d be required to harness into something on the ceiling. So if the lift gave out, you’d just dangle there until you got rescued.

      The other issue is when I chuck a stupendous peg-leg bombie next to their aqua-franken-scissor-tower.
