The words "Starship" is broken into three framed units which ride on the back of the ride when the entire ride is folded up for transportation. With the trailer mounted ride secured at the site. Employees #1 and the coworker climbed up to the top of the unfolded ride and accepted the first letter frame from coworkers on the ground. Employee #1 and the coworker carried the frame to where it was to be installed and clipped onto the ride. Before this could happen, the right foot of Employee #1 contacted something and he fell forward, fell head first off the ride, landing at the base of the ride.
