Narrative

Two employees were in a scissor lift lowering support pipes down. As they began lowering one of the pipes, the bottom of the pipe slid into the scissor lift, causing the lift to tip over. Both employees jumped out of the lift (approximately 3 feet) before the lift collapsed to the ground. The first employee suffered a broken hip, a broken tailbone, bruises, and cuts. The second employee suffered a broken pelvic bone, a fractured left elbow, bruises, and scrapes.
