At approximately 10:30 a.m. on June 22, 2011, Employee #1, a technical trainee of ER (a communications company) was injured during a training exercise at the company's facility. She was performing a pole climbing exercise when she "gaffed out" and fell approximately 10 ft. from the pole. Employees free climb the pole using climbing boots with "gaffs", a large spike that attaches to the heel of the boot, until they reach their working point and then belt in.
