I included pictures of Tower-5 with the bucket tipped as a heads up for people. The Tower apparently suffered a mechanical failure of the bucket leveler with 2 men in the bucket. When the bucket suddenly dropped, the 2 men inside were tossed around inside the bucket but not injured, "because they had their belts on". Just a heads up for any that might feel too comfortable in a bucket to think they don't need to wear their ladder belts. We can't always control when accidents happen, but we can help control the outcome by using all of our safety equipment.
