Narrative

Mechanic was in a JLG man-basket welding on kiln. Welding lead was secured to the man-basket and as it traveled upwards, the lead caught the toe board of the platform. While observing the snag and bringing the basket back down, the welding lead snapped causing the man-basket to jump from it's present location.
