disc2slick,
You make a good point about not being pressured to do something you don't want to. I'm sure this is something many of us have encountered before. Those of you that haven't probably will at some point. If your friends make fun of you for using a Genie lift properly, well, they weren't your friends to begin with. Remember, just say NO to improper lift operation.
Serrrrriously, though. There's a lot of pressure as an intern or new guy to impress and accomodate, but when it comes to this, it's just super important to trust your gut. I mean if you don't feel uncomfotable being pushed in one of those things, you're just asking for trouble. Honestly, it's hard to feel comfortable on a single man lift when it's still and indoors. I can't imagine how uncomfortable I'd feel if it were being pushed.
In my mind, it's like seeing a ground lift on a plug. Now there's something none of us (maybe sound guys can relate better) would do. Safety chain on a fixture? How many have you seen fall, but we still do it.
