Narrative

An employee hooked up a tag line to a wall panel that was attached to a crane. The tag line looped around the employee s leg, picking them up in the air with the load. As the employee was approximately 23 feet high, the crane stopped, and the tag line loosened, causing the employee to fall on vertical rebar. The rebar was on top of a 15-foot wall. It impaled the employee from the leg to the stomach.
