On April 10, 2006, Employee #1 and a coworker were working from Sky Genie boatswain's chairs on the east face of a building, caulking around the glass panels where water has been leaking into the building. Both employees rigged their own boatswain's chairs and safety lines. The boatswain's chairs were the property of their employer. Coming to the ground at the end of the day, Employee #1 unhooked his rope, grabbed onto his harness, and rappelled down the face of the glass, when he ran out of rope on the boatswain's chair. He fell approximately 30 feet to the ground and bushes below. He was taken to Prince George's Medical Center, where it was determined that he had received no broken bones. He was hospitalized for bruises, contusions, and abrasions.
