Employee injured in fall from ladder on scaffold

Employee #1 and coworkers were staining the wood siding on a single family home. They had erected an approximately 10 ft high mason's scaffold 10 ft away from the house and placed two 12 ft by 12 ft by 2 in. planks on top of it. They then put a 28 ft aluminum extension ladder on the planks and leaned it against the house. When Employee #1 reached the top of the ladder, the scaffold kicked out and he fell approximately 30 ft to a concrete patio. He shattered both his heels and fractured the index finger on his left hand. The scaffold was not tied in to the house.
