He didn’t break his shoulder just dislocated it. The other guy banged his knee on the window but that was it!
The course is still being investigated so not sure what i can say but the front strap did slip when the crane juddered slightly. this would not be a problem unless the strap was not in the correct place ie to far forward!
Boat had bridge windows smashed through and the result was pretty bad not what you want to happen to 1.8 million dollars worth of boat!

It is always easy to say after it has happened, but by securing the straps to the boat, as we do here, it feels a lot safer. And I have always kept people out of the tenders when lifting them as well.

Let's see, "YachForums.com" tee's and caps worn around ports and marinas would easily double that figure in no time.

Maybe you ought to replay that 72 Viking lying on the quay next to the collapsed lifting crane.
Call it 'crash & splash'.
Hey, give 'em what they want! |

Looking at the first few pictures, you can see the "M" badge up towards the fly bridge. Indicating that it would possibly be a Meridian?
