As the employee was leaning out holding onto a piece of rebar, the rebar broke loose and caused him to fall to the cofferdam floor. Employee #1 was wearing a safety belt with a rebar hook attached but was not tied off or otherwise protected from falling. Employee #1 was hospitalized for two weeks with a shattered thigh, fractures of both knees, and a fractured right elbow.
