Investigation Summary
At 8:00 a.m. on April 21, 2002, Employee #1, a mechanic, was test driving a tow tractor on the tarmac between Gates 93 and 94 of the San Francisco International Airport. The employer reported that this fuel pit was a problem because it appeared that it was built too high and some airport equipment was having problems clearing the steel cover. Employee #1 was not aware of the problem. He ran over a raised fuel pit cover, which sent him bouncing inside the cab of the tractor. Employee #1's head hit the canopy which injured him seriously. Employee #1 sustained a fractured vertebra and lacerations on his forehead. Employee #1 also reported numbness in his shoulder and right hand.
