Narrative

On Friday, 04/14/17, at 08:15AM, an employee was disassembling a lattice boom crawler crane and removing a 10-foot section. After the pins were removed from the boom, the boom did not immediately break loose. The employee was then descending from the top of the boom when the section separated from the rest of the crane, causing him to fall 9.5 feet to the ground. He sustained a fractured cheek bone, multiple skull fractures, and a fractured shoulder.
