I forgot to release my lanyard once, I was on a boom lift, was going down after measuring for some pipe, Got jerked up from the cage with my foot just barely off the safety switch/pedal. It took me about a half hour to get out of that mess! I managed to drop almost every tool in my belt onto the switch enough that my foot could maneuver a screwdriver onto it. Talk about embarrassed! No one was wise to it though!
