An inquest into a scaffolding tragedy hears that extreme wind affected conditions at a sporting ground before a man was killed. Mitchelton Football Club volunteers and officials tell the inquest they experienced what they describe as the windiest playing conditions they had seen at the venue. Witnesses describe strong winds around the time of the incident, including how it was forceful enough to affect outdoor conditions. The accounts form part of the evidence being considered by the court as it assesses what occurred and whether risks related to weather and site safety were managed appropriately. The sources report that the same theme of severe wind conditions is consistently raised by club representatives, who provide the court with context about the environment during the period leading up to the fatal incident. The inquest is ongoing, and details of the circumstances surrounding the scaffolding failure and any related safety measures are examined as the hearing progresses.
