Employee injured in fall from ledge

At approximately 11:15 a.m. on April 7, 2000, Employee #1, a supervisor of a specialty department at a whole foods market, was on his break in the smoking area. He and a coworker went to the back of the store, and he hoisted himself onto the 42 in. high parapet to sit on the ledge. He underestimated the hazard and fell backward. Despite a previous shoulder injury, the coworker managed to hold onto him for few minutes while yelling for help. No one responded and shortly thereafter, the coworker lost his grip. Employee #1 fell about 19 ft, landing on his feet. He fractured both his ankles and was transported to San Francisco General Hospital for treatment.
