Health and safety inspector Frances Ellis, who organised the examination of the 2006 Niftylift cherry picker, which was owned by Mr Senkans' employer, RM Gibbons LTD, said the "severe" faults meant the machinery was dangerous and should not have been operated.
She identified "three key issues that may have contributed" to the incident, including a lever used to operate the cherry picker which remained stuck in place after being moved instead of returning to a neutral position after pressure was removed.

Marta Balaga After playing Kimberly Shaw in “Melrose Place” and Bree Van de Kamp in “Desperate Housewives,” Marcia Cross is ready for her next iconic role. “I always assumed that after ‘Desperate Housewives’ there will be a third act.

We were 40-year-old women doing ‘DH’ and that was a big deal. Now, I want to see 60-year-old women.”
