sjsturner Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Yeah I read this yesterday too Jimbo. Think there was another one in Spain the other day too, little kid. Quote
sjsturner Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Also they checked all their gates and found no faults, this guy had been doing it 20yrs, god knows how this gate ended up so dangerous Quote
norman Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 I read it as it ran out of the tracks due to no stops. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Yes that’s right, but says the company checked all their other installations and found no faults on any? Covering up or just a one off? 35 minutes ago, datadiffusion said: Some of the worst firms round here are the ones that 'specialise' in gates'... Let them get on with it, not worth messing with imo Quote
datadiffusion Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Quite, just that Joe Public presumes a specialist is just that, sadly Of course money comes into it and said specialist is simply quoting at the lower price they know will be accepted by leaving out pesky safety extras...

MrHappy Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 in the DM it said she pulled the gate closed & it fell on top of her, (cctv) I assume when closed only gravity held it in place? Quote Mr Veritas God
PeterJames Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Some of us install quite a bit of automation and take safety very seriously, and some of us install a couple of gates and get to go to Italy for the weekend! Quote
datadiffusion Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Is the manufacturers delivery that unreliable? Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands
