Investigation Summary
Employee #1, who worked for a delivery company, was unloading a rolled carpet from a truck outside a retail carpet store. It was being pulled out using a hook and rope attached to a pickup truck driven by a coworker. Employee #1 was standing approximately 2 ft above the street on the 4 in. wide rear metal bumper of the carpet truck. He was facing the carpet roll when the front end of it came off the truck, tipped down, and dug into street. This caused the back end of the roll, and where the pulling hook was attached, to lift up into the air. It swung and either struck Employee #1, or caused him to fall as he tried to avoid it. Employee #1 fell backward off the bumper, striking his head on the pavement. He sustained serious head injuries and was killed.
