Narrative

On November 2, 2016, an employee was pushing a rolling stack of 1" trusses toward center stage from upstage when one of the stage boards (which was on ice) shifted, creating a spot for a wheel to become stuck. The trusses began to fall over and the employee tried to stop them. When he did, the trusses struck him in the face and broke his jaw.
