Investigation Summary
At 8:50 a.m. on September 14, 2020, an employee and a coworker were climbing a ladder to the upper level of the "Star Flyer" amusement ride to perform daily inspections and maintenance tasks. The coworker was climbing above the employee on the ladder when he turned to observe the employee just as the employee lost his grip and fell. The employee fell approximately 225 feet and landed on a lower level platform near the ground and was killed. Employees were provided with 2000/2002 Avanti Fall Protection Systems prior to the climb.
