1. A basket comprising:
a platform having a position for receiving an operator,
a system driving movement of the platform,
a control console borne by the platform and equipped with at least one control of the system driving movement of the platform, that can be manually actuated,
a flexible safety link,
two systems for retaining the link, one arranged at one of the ends of the link, the other arranged at the other of the ends of the link, for keeping the link in at least one position in which the link extends across the platform and forms a demarcation line between a part of the position for receiving an operator of the platform and the control console,
a device for detecting a deformation of the link comprising at least one member for detecting a deformation of the link, said detection member being configured so that, under the effect of a deformation of the link, it switches from an inactive state in which the operation of the control or controls of the system driving movement of the platform is not b prevented to an active state in which the operation of the control or controls is prevented,
wherein at least one of the retaining systems comprises a rotary member for winding the link around which the link coupled to said rotary member is partially wound, said rotary member being equipped with at least one elastic return member of said rotary member configured to exert, on said rotary member, a force driving angular movement of the rotary member in the direction of winding of the link around said rotary member.
