Narrative

Employees were cleaning around elevated water pipes. An employee was in an aerial platform being elevated when the platform contacted a pipe, breaking it. The flow of water from the broken pipe struck the employee, causing him to lose balance and fall to ground level 10 to 12 feet below. He suffered a head laceration, a broken collarbone, and a neck injury; he was hospitalized, undergoing surgery.
