Investigation Summary
On August 2, 2006, Employee #1 was operating a Wolverine overhead crane with a spreader bar attached. The spreader bar came into contact with the underside of the crane's girders while the load was being lifted. Employee #1 alternated application of power between lifting and lowering. This created extreme pressure on the wire rope. The wire rope then broke, the load fell, and he was struck on the head and shoulder and pinned under the load. He died in the medical center in Huntsville later that day.
