Investigation Summary
On September 16, 2008, Employee #1 was using a Sky Genie, with a seatboard, to caulk the joints on the walls of a parking garage. The walls were on the first and second levels from the top. He tied the seatboard and life lines to the guard rail of a fence and went to get a drink of water. When he came back, he went over the fence and was adjusting his seatboard when the lines came loose. He fell 76 feet 2 inches to the ground, and was killed.
