Narrative

An employee was inside the bucket of a bucket truck, using the truck's winch line to lift a stop sign that was affixed to the ground. The winch line failed under stress, which caused the bucket to shift. The employee was dislodged and fell to the ground about 15 to 20 feet below, suffering a broken pelvis, broken ribs, and a punctured lung.
