Best Answer

Shoulder joint is highly mobile joint. The head of the humerus is to large as compared to the cavity on scapula. Still the dislocation of the joint is very uncommon. You have four muscles attached around the head of the humerus. Subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor. These muscles keep the head of the humerus tightly opposed to scapula regardless of the position of the arm. This prevents the dislocation of the shoulder joint.

Is a safety harness required in a scissor lifter?

Anyone who is raised up in a scissor lift should wear a fall prevention lanyard that is so short that it prevents him or her from falling out of the lift. This is different from a safety harness, which prevents you from hitting the ground if you do fall, and secures you safely until you can be rescued.
