Bad bucket truck accident...

[rumination]

I can only hope that when my time comes it happens just that quickly. Nothing terrifies me more than a long, drawn out death. Death doesn't bother me, but the dying part does.

As Woody Allen said: "I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens."

Mine has two cables and we are getting them replaced .
I always wondered what would happen if one of the cables snapped .

Isn't The effect of the cables holdig or not dependent upon design? Altecs have leveling cables for the bucket but the hydraulics hold the booms.

A fatal bucket accident here in Canon City 10 years ago was due to the pin at the base of the boom snapping. I don't remember the brand of lift but it was OOOOOLLLLLD.
