This is awful deepest sympathies to that young Girl's family.
I have seen happen a couple of times heard about it lots, can't believe smeone is dead due to slack practice.
I recall seeing the FA clinging on for dear life. luckily the operator heard her screams and stopped before she fell but she was left dangling fro a few seconds.
I am amazed that there does not seem to be a procedure for checking if the steps are empty before disengaging them.
This is such an easy problem to fix, we must learn from this tragedy.
