Narrative

An employee was descending a 32-foot extension ladder from a gas station roof to retrieve a part. The bottom of the ladder kicked backward and slid, striking a concrete curb. The employee fell from the ladder approximately 12 feet to the ground below, resulting in three fractured vertebrae and a concussion.
