Investigation Summary
Some employees were unloading cable reels from a trailer. One of the employees had tilted the trailer backwards to help unload the reels. After the reels were unloaded, he reached up and used his body weight to return the trailer to normal position. He lost his balance and fell to the ground. When the trailer returned to normal position, the trailer tongue struck him in the head and killed him.
