He grabbed the branch, hung for five seconds, and then fell. He broke his left ankle and left wrist and was hospitalized for three days. Employee #1 said he was planning to climb up the tree to wrap the tree with lights. He had no fall protection system. Other employees, including the Crew Chief, were working in the tree with ladders.
