Abstract: At 11:30 a.m. on January 31, 1997, Employee #1, age 20, and three coworkers were erecting scaffolds to be used in the construction of a new ride at an amusement park. This scaffold structure was 20 ft high, and the crew was laying planks at the top. Employee #1 was laying a plank near the edge of the scaffold when a 22 ft metal truss broke off at a point about 5 ft in from the outer edge of the scaffold. Employee #1 fell to the ground, along with some scaffold material. He suffered a broken right arm, a broken hip, and back injuries.
