The scaffold was suspended by a wire rope that was connected to an overhead I-beam with a #40 C clamp. His safety line was also connected to the same C clamp. The supporting cable hung horizontally over a hot rail before dropping vertically to the scaffold. The C clamp worked loose from the I-beam and the scaffold lifeline and Employee #1 fell. He sustained crushing injuries to the chest and died.
