"We have become more and more concerned as to the exercise the judge undertook," he added.
Mr Young was said to have landed "on his hands and knees" and was rushed to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment following the fall on 28 November 2023.Edinburgh Airport said it accepted the decision of the court and offered "sincere condolences" to Mr Young's family.
He suffered a punctured lung, spine fractures and a fractured pelvis as well as a flail chest, where multiple broken ribs cause the chest wall to become unstable and interfere with breathing.Mr Young, from Edinburgh, suffered a heart attack two days later and clinicians concluded "the totality of his injuries and medical condition were not survivable".He died on 7 December 2023.
Edinburgh Airport Ltd, a private limited company, was prosecuted under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 at a hearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday.Sheriff Fiona Sharp said the "isolated incident" had been "a tragic accident" and noted the ambulift had previously been inspected twice by a third party with no defects found.
Sheriff Sharp said this was the first time the company had faced prosecution and she had been persuaded that "the culpability is low".
The fine was reduced from £120,000 due to an early guilty plea.Niall Walker, 25, from Lovis Media Ltd, told them he was not expecting significant congestion as many revellers were likely to travel via public transport, arriving at Grantham Railway Station and using a shuttle bus to reach the site.
He also explained there would be a minimum of 10 security staff on site during between 09:00 BST and midnight, with numbers dropping by four during quieter hours.Mr Walker said if successful, he hoped the festival would become an annual event.
"There are a lot of festivals struggling at the moment, it's a very difficult industry."I know a lot of people whose favourite festivals have just been cancelled and we'd love to help create a new home for those people."
