Abstract: At approximately 3:30 p.m. on May 14, 2008, Employee #1 was disconnecting the cable TV service to two residential homes. He was working on a feeder box while using an extension ladder. There were two cables connected to the homes; one was taut and the other was slack. Employee #1 cut the slack cable first. When he cut the taut cable, it whipped away. The main cable strand which was stretched between two power poles moved forward due to Employee #1's weight. Employee #1 was injured when the cable snapped back and he fell from the ladder to the road 18 ft below. He struck his head and was rendered unconscious. He was hospitalized for unspecified traumatic injuries to his head.
