Abstract: On August 23, 2010, Employee #1, a laborer, was standing on copper tubing that was stacked on a flatbed truck. His right hand was on the sling and his left hand was on the tubing. The copper tubing bottomed out, which caused slack in the sling. The sling came off the hook and Employee #1 lost his balance and fell to the cement. The copper tubing then fell on top of Employee #1, crushing and killing him.
