Two employees were working from inside a man basket attached to a forklift. While attaching the tail rigging to one of the turbine blades, the man basket attached to the forklift failed, causing the employees to fall approximately 20 feet to the ground. One employee sustained fractures to their left foot and right femur and shin, as well as dislocations to their right knee and left shoulder. The other employee was not injured.
