Employee #1 and a coworker were working together on a roof removing 33 foot by 40 inch corrugated steel roofing sheets and installing new sheets on a metal building erected on a farm which was 50 feet wide by 80 feet long which had been damaged by hail. Employee #1 and a coworker had removed a section of the roof and were in the process of moving it to the peak of the roof, when Employee #1 stepped on the edge of the existing roof causing it to flex. The movement of the roof caused Employee #1 to lose his balance and step into the opening created by the removal of the adjacent sheet.
