Abstract: At approximately 9:00 a.m. on September 14, 1990, Employee #1 was inside the cabin of a scissor lift airplane-servicing truck. As the lift was being raised, there was a mechanical failure of a critical pivot shaft that caused the scissor and the cabin to fall forward. They struck the vehicle's driving cab with enough force to collapse the cab's roof. Employee #1 was injured when he was thrown against the cabin. The pivot shaft broke when its locking screws apparently loosened, causing the shaft to move and catch in another part of the machine.
