Onlooker hurt by falling debris from high reach excavator.
Just two weeks ago, Demolition News attended a two-day discussion on the safe use of high reach excavators. During those discussions, one of the key aspects was the need for exclusions zones around the machine while it is in operation.
Those discussions were brought into stark focus this weekend when an elderly woman was struck int he chest by debris that had apparently bounced off the back of the high reach boom.
Unfortunately, the accompanying video cannot be embedded here but the full story and the video is available on the Yorkshire Evening Post website here.
