Looks like a metal fatigue . Hope the guy will be able to work after this accident. This going to be Osha field day for sure.
Altec LR50.... And it does look like a metal coupling gave out....
Fiber Glass or Metal the all have metal coupling in them. Showed this to my uncle and he said it looks like metal fatigue, he works on these a lot as a inspector.
It's pretty clear that the top female knuckle coupling assembly let go by looking at the pics.... The break is too clean too be a fiberglass fracture IMHO.
Every boom uses some sort of metal coupler to join the sections together, they can fail with out warning. This truck shows signs of age failure.
