Narrative

A contractor was working on some demolition work at the mine site. He was standing on a catwalk with handrails cutting loose the bottom of the catwalk from a hopper. He cut both of the supports to the catwalk and fell approximately 23 feet. He showed signs of a leg injury and the hospital confirmed a broken femur and pelvis.
