If they have to get out of the lift, it is at it's lowest position. That means all the weight is in the middle of the platform and the weight of 2 man will not be enough to make the platform flip over.

They will have to jump to the side I suppose. Just step off. Maybe the can even paddle the platform around, I imagine there is at least one piece of rope to manipulate the platform when there is nobody on it.

The lift will go off, the same way it came on. Probably some sort of crane. I cannot imagine they just drove it on there, but maybe they did. Maybe even a forklift with long forks. There are forklifts that could probably handle that kind of weight so far away on the forks.

This is the type of thing that I look at say this can't possibly work, and the engineer beside me will look at me a little confused and say this can't possibly fail. Sure enough they're usually right. Usually. I still won't be climbing on there.

Well, it's always best to listen to the little voice inside, especially if it says "I might just die here". I completely understand why you would not be climbing on that.
