How does everyboby feel lifting humans with a front end loader.Scares me to death i did it alot with forklift at work in a basket.In a fork lift they have reducers in the lines to slow the drop if a line breaks.
 
I bought one of these on amazon for a safer way to clean out gutters ...instead of just lifting someone in the bucket.

Works great.

Pretty unsafe if you ask me.
@Doc - for gutters, I just climb on the roof with a backpack leaf blower to clean gutters. I can do 100' in about 5 minutes.

You are obviously younger and more agile than me. I'm having balance issues on the ground. No way I could get on the roof with a backpack blower.
Working slow and steady I've lifted my wife, son and son in law in the bucket for various projects. No issue's. I feel even better with this safety cage on the forks. Works for me.

What's your plan to secure the cage to the forks to keep the cage from sliding off the end?

It comes with a chain hook to hook to the bucket. And I added another safety chain just to be sure it didn't slide anywhere. When using the key is slow movements. I'm good at it.
