Narrative

An employee was trimming a tree from an elevated bucket at an approximate height of 50 feet when a portion of the tree that was cut fell and struck the bucket. This caused the bucket to fall to a lower position approximately 8 feet below the original work position. The employee was flipped out the bucket and fell 42 more feet to the ground, breaking bones and requiring hospitalization.
