Opinion:
REDMANN, Judge.
The trial judge's reasons amply explain his decision and his reasons are supported by the record. The fact that the crane was used with no problem immediately after the accident dispels any supposition that a failure of its hydraulic system might have caused it to suddenly fall and knock down the scaffold.
Affirmed.
