Employee injured in fall through skylight

At approximately 8:30 a.m. on May 11, 1998, Employee #1, a roofer, was sitting on the cover of a skylight, changing his shoes. The 1/2 in. 4 by 8 ft plywood cover shifted, and Employee #1 fell 37 1/2 ft through the skylight to the floor, striking a Conex container as he fell. He suffered severe head injuries and was transported by Life Flight helicopter to a local trauma center.

The covers were properly marked, nailed at the corners, and supported diagonally with a single 2 by 6.
