Durning the Fall 2010 college football season, a student who was also an employee of the University of Notre Dame was killed while filming the school's football team from a scissor lift. Reportedly, the worker, who had not been trained to properly operate the scissor lift, raised the lift over 39 feet in the air to film the practice. The wind gusts that day were more than 50 miles per hour.
