Narrative

An employee was holding a rope tagline to control a jib during the disassembly of a crane. The employee became entangled in the tagline rope, causing him to lose balance and fall to the ground. The jib swung back to the boom and the employee was dragged approximately 25 feet before striking the front outrigger beam on the crane. He sustained fractures to the collar bone, skull, and ribs, as well as brain hemorrhaging and head lacerations. The employee was hospitalized.
