At approximately 10:00 a.m. on April 7, 2017, an employee was using an impact wrench just before the accident. Employee was under the part affixed to the fixture when two welded studs holding it to the support arms broke. The 3,000 pound part fell atop the employee working beneath it. At the time of the accident, the positioner arms were inverted so that the part was upside down, and was supported solely by the two butt welded bolts. The employee was crushed and killed.
