Employee dies after falling from scaffold with planks

On or about May 24, 1994, Employee #1 and a friend were standing 28 ft high on homemade scaffold planks on a pump jack scaffold to install a piece of trim around a second floor residence window. For some reason, the scaffold planks fell, causing both men to fall to the ground. Employee #1 was flown by Life Flight to Geisinger Hospital in Danville, PA, where he died later that evening.
