Follow Me vehicle ran over Marshaller
« on: February 09, 2012, 01:05:25 pm »
My first arrival with GSX into stand 36 at Cardiff (UK 2000 scenery) the Follow Me vehicle ran over the poor Marshaller.  I think he is OK he was taken straight to hospital   :o

Very pleased with GSX, great program, thanks

Vehicles are not aware of their surroundings, mowing down the marshall should be expected.   ;D

There was also a complaint filed by the wing walker when he was almost taken out by the tow bar from the pushback tug when walking away after disconnect.


The union representative has contacted OSHA for possible violations.   News at 10

Bruce, I did notice that my Follow Me truck stop in front of another truck blocking its way. I thought I saw the Follow Me drive around him.  Maybe too many brewskies........................

You mean the Occasionally #### Happens Association?   ;D

Could that have been the AES follow me?  Oliver uses AESLite vehicles, they are traffic aware.
