Narrative

An employee was operating an overhead crane. While he was hoisting the crane, the block contacted the upper limit switch. The switch was set off but did not stop the crane's movement, causing the crane's cable to snap. When the cable snapped, the crane block (weighing 91 lbs.) and chain (weighing 43 lbs.) fell 18 feet and hit the employee. He was hospitalized with a broken right foot.
