Abstract: At approximately 1:30 p.m. on June 10, 1998, Employee #1 was using a crane to lift a truck trailer off another truck trailer. Because the trailer he was picking up was approximately 1,400 lb too heavy, the crane's controls locked up, as they were designed to do. The trailer swung around on the line and its tongue pinned Employee #1 against the crane. He sustained severe injuries to his face and to the back of his head. Employee #1 had not checked the trailer's weight to ensure that the crane, as configured, could safely lift it.
