Abstract: At approximately 2:00 p.m. on March 13, 1992, Employee #1 was using a backhoe with cables to guide an 8 in. steel sewer pipe under an existing pipe in a trench. A wall outside the trench box collapsed, hitting the 14 ft long pipe. The swing reaction caused the pipe to hit Employee #1 in the stomach and knock him into the trench shield. The impact burst his bladder, and he was hospitalized.
