He was walking up the wall wood plate, approximately 9 feet above the third floor's wooden floor, and going over a rebar hold down. Employee #1's leg became caught by the metal rebar hold down. Employee #1 lost his balance and fell to the floor, breaking a wooden brace during his fall. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for a fracture of the third lumbar (lower back) vertebra.
