## Narrative

An employee was working at elevation, installing fitting support brackets on instrument air piping, when he fell 25 to 30 feet to the ground. He was tied off, but his fall protection disengaged about halfway down, allowing him to hit the ground. He suffered a fractured left forearm, multiple fractured ribs, a skull fracture, and a hematoma/brain bleed.
