Narrative

An employee was descending an extension ladder after cleaning the gutters on a residential building. The rung locks on the ladder unlatched, caused the extension to slide down, and the employee fell approximately 4-5 feet off the ladder and onto the driveway below. His head and neck then struck garden pavers that were 4 inches high, resulting in a fractured C6 vertebra.
