Narrative

While performing construction work on an apartment building, an employee's lanyard became tangled. While the employee was attempting to untangle the lanyard, a cantilevered portion of one truss contacted and pushed down another roof truss, causing the employee to lose his footing and fall to the ground. He suffered a broken pelvis, lacerated kidney, lacerated spleen, punctured lung, and broken rib.
