The employee tried to jump onto the moving elevator and got his legs pinned between the car floor and the elevator shaft wall. The elevator carried him up approximately 10 ft to 15 ft. The employee then fell to the bottom of the shaft pit, approximately 35 ft below. The employee died of a basal skull fracture.
