Narrative

An employee was stepping out onto a 12-foot-wide, 6-foot-deep wood platform raised to a third-story window opening with a telescoping boom forklift. The platform flipped off the side of the forks and the employee fell about 24 feet to the ground below. The employee suffered a fractured neck vertebra and was hospitalized.
