Method and device for removing a non ground-based scaffolding system by a single user

A scaffold system configured to be removably attached to a support structure having an aperture extending therethrough, the scaffold system comprises:

• a scaffold configured to directly support a user when in a first position;
• an extension arm having a first end and a second end, wherein the scaffold is attached to the extension arm, and wherein the extension arm has an aperture extending therethrough proximate the second end;
• a nail plate having an aperture extending therethrough;
• a pin;
• a rope or cable;
• wherein the scaffold system is configured to move between the first position and a second position;
• wherein,
• when the scaffold system is in the first position, the extension arm extends through the aperture of the support structure, the rope or cable does not extend through the aperture of the support structure, the second end extends through the aperture of the nail plate, and the pin extends through the aperture of the extension arm which retains the extension arm and scaffold in a fixed position with respect to the nail plate and the support structure so that the scaffold is fixedly attached to the support structure;
• and,
• when the scaffold system is in the second position, the pin does not extend through the aperture of the extension arm, the rope or cable is directly attached to the second end of the extension arm, the rope or cable extends through the aperture in the nail plate and the aperture in the support structure, the scaffold is detached from the support structure and positioned at a first height below a second height of the scaffold in the first position as a result of the scaffold being substantially supported by the rope or cable while being raised or lowered by the rope or cable.
