Narrative

An employee was framing a soffit at the top of a scaffold. He pushed himself using bars attached to a desk as leverage. The scaffold started to roll too fast, and when he tried to stop it, he fell approximately 5 feet from the top of the scaffold onto the concrete floor. He suffered a cut on the head, a right knee and lower leg fracture, and a left knee fracture.
