Narrative

An employee was attempting to anchor down on the top ridge of a new two-story house (7:12 pitch) when his feet became tangled on the tie-off rope, causing him to lose his balance and eventually fall about 20 feet to the ground. He was hospitalized with three broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and a fractured pelvis.
