Employee #1 was working from a rolling scaffolding at a height of 10 ft 9 in. without any guard rails and only a single plank as a work platform. After removing several plates which were bolted onto the wall, Employee #1 pulled on this plate and it came free from the wall and the unsuspected release caused him to lose his balance. Employee #1fell backwards off the scaffold landing on his lower back area and then flopping his head to the concrete sidewalk. Employee #1 sustained a skull fracture; a broken back; and a severed spinal cord. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
