Employee injured from falling piping

On November 19, 2000, Employee #1 was carrying paneling when he heard someone shout "headache," then he was struck by several objects, including screen wall tubing and scaffolding boards. The tubing fell about 13 stories (or 157 ft) and collided with stationary scaffolding. The collision impeded the force of the falling tubing (weighing approximately 200 pounds) and dislodged a portion of the scaffolding boards. The ricocheting objects knocked him to the ground, striking his back and pinning his leg under a piping valve. Another employee, who witnessed the accident, ran to his location to provide him with aid. Emergency medical services were summoned and he was transported to the hospital. In the hospital, he received treatment for injuries consisting of abrasions, contusions and lacerations across his entire body.
