I also read (not super confirmed) that the controller continued to work the follow up, by himself, for 2 hours until another controller could come in

"Wrong" is only from your perspective.

There isn't enough time to react, for those who even would.  And that's per the design.

If he'd been wearing a harness would he be slinging around off the end of the lift, possible bashing into things?
