Abstract: Employee #1 was rewiring an elevator with at least one open side. He entered the car to move it down so that a coworker could get on top of it. The car should have been set in 'Inspection' Mode so that it would travel slowly, but it was in 'Run Mode' and it moved at a high rate of speed. Employee #1 either lost his balance and fell, or he tried to jump out of the elevator. His head struck the open side of the cab, and he was killed.
