Have we had a thread about the death by urinal?
Discussion
Someone is going to be in trouble over this, not just for the incident but what led to it.
Obvious starting questions will be why no (working) safety interlocks on the equipment, and no safety cutouts, plus why the hell does a simple pop up structure need to have such overpowered hydraulics that it can cause an outcome like that?
A previous incident was caused by one coming up despite a heavy obstruction.

What a horrible way to die. Traumatic for the victim's family and all involved.
First time I've ever reported a post. Very distasteful and absolutely not something to be cracking jokes about IMO.
I commented about the lack of class to joke about a person's demise. My post was deleted as I quoted the offending post. First time I've ever reported a post. Very distasteful and absolutely not something to be cracking jokes about IMO.
What the hell is the point of these things, surely if you need a loo, build a f
king loo. Pop up loos is curing the problem that doesn’t exist.
Secondly, people are suggesting he was crushed underneath it, poor bugger. It is not more likely that it descended with the door open and him half in and half out? I don’t see how they can access the underneath, surely it’s from in the device?
Finally, why is anyone (presuming here) working alone on a device like this?
Poor guy and his family etc.
of course, ‘lessons will be learned’, I’m sure, but no one will be held to account.

Don't think there's doors, just (3?) scallops out of the sides? And I think it telescopes down to half height as it descends.I think you get service access mostly via a manhole at the side? Beyond that lift/stripdown.
Was it one like this?
Awful way to go, and completely unnecessary. Why the hell does London need pissoirs that telescope into the ground? What a waste of money. What’s wrong with having simple ones that are there all day, much more convenient, vastly less expensive and not likely to kill anyone. Whoever signed these off needs sacking.
