Investigation Summary
Employees #1 and #2 were being lowered in a personnel basket that was attached to a drum hoist and supported on the guys of a 2,000-ft-tall television tower. The intended procedure was for the basket to be lowered and then hoisted back up the 45-degree guys, with the employees painting the guys while ascending. The platform basket had descended between 150 and 200 ft from the tower when the drum hoist gear mechanism failed and the basket went into a free fall down the guy until it struck the ground. Employee #1 was killed and Employee #2, age 16, sustained injuries that required hospitalization.
