If a scaffold collaps and you are connected to it than you don’t stand a change. If you are connected to and extra safet-/backuprope you have the possibility of surviving’if you work on top of the scaffold. Because if you work in the middleand it collaps you will get the upper part on the scaffold on top of you and the fources will be so big that your equipment (lanyard/ harness/ fall arrest block) will break, or you body, or both)

Inspection of and building of scaffolds is very important and a lot of people still don’t realize.

On the other hand, the user shoul check the scaffold and if he thinks it is not safe (common sence) he should not work on it in the first place.
