Investigation Summary
At about 9:35 a.m. on August 31, 2006, Employee #1, an ironworker, was part of a bolting-up operation on the second concourse level of a new sports arena. He unhooked his personal fall arrest system to move to another location, and when he stepped on a beam's flange, he lost his balance and fell about 79 ft to the ground. The employee was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead due to numerous blunt force type injuries.
