Investigation Summary
Several employees were working from a work barge underneath a 40-ton suspended boat ramp on the water. Employees were sinking the work barge in an attempt to free or remove the barge and its support timber from underneath the suspended boat ramp. Due to stresses placed on the ramp, it collapsed and crushed Employee #1. The ramp was being supported by four 1 in. wire rope cables. U-bolts were incorrectly installed on the cables that were holding the ramp's surface.
