Investigation Summary
On April 2, 2008, Employee #1, a foreman, and a coworker were making final adjustments on a ceiling mounted basketball backstop assembly that had been installed six days earlier. The coworker raised the back stop to the "up" position so that Employee #1 could access the back of the assembly to make final inspections on the equipment. The anchor point, a cinder block, on the gymnasium wall failed, allowing the butterfly anchors to break free releasing the backstop. Employee #1 was approximately 8 ft high in a scissors lift when the backstop dropped to the down position and struck him. His right arm was smashed between the guardrails of the lift and the back stop. Employee #1 suffered a compound fracture to his right forearm and was hospitalized.
