Investigation Summary
On July 21, 2003, Employee #1 was performing testing of a fiberglass reinforced pipe to check for leaks. The pipe was pressurized to 100 psi. For some reason, the end of the pipe failed and the flange end of the pipe was forced forward, striking Employee #1. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for multiple compound fractures, causing internal injury and blood loss. Despite treatment efforts, he died.
