Abstract: At approximately 6:00 a.m. on June 10, 2011, Employee #1 and a coworker were working 10 ft. above ground on a platform with unprotected edges. Employee #1 and his coworker were securing the crane operator's seat cushion on a truck crane system made of a Sterling truck and Iowa Mold Tooling hydraulic loader. While Employee #1 was securing a bungee cord around the loose seat cushion, the bungee cord snapped in half, causing him to jump. Employee #1's momentum carried him over the unprotected edge, falling head first to the surface below. Employee #1 was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Employee #1's employer did not implement or require any fall protection, prior to the accident.
