Narrative

An employee was wearing a harness and tied off to an advertising sign that he was disassembling with an oxy/fuel torch when two fighter jets flew overhead and caused the cut members to vibrate and collapse. The employee "rode" the collapsing structure down and hit his elbow on the steel, breaking a bone. The structure was approximately 17 feet in height and the employee fell approximately 6 feet.
