Narrative

An employee set up and secured an extension ladder on a pole so he could tighten up a low-hanging triplex cable. While on the pole, the employee started to pull the triplex cable to raise it up. The tension caused the pole to snap. The employee jumped off the ladder to avoid getting hit by the pole. The employee impacted the ground and sustained bilateral talus fractures.
