As he held the downspout brace with one hand while applying pressure and drilled with the other hand, he pulled the downspout brace from the wall. This caused the employee to fall to the pavement below and he was hospitalized to treat multiple injuries. The employee suffered a maxillary sinus fracture, nasal bone fracture, concussion, traumatic brain injury, Galeazzi's fracture of the left radius, Pterygoid plate fracture, and a closed fracture of the distal end of his right tibia.
