## Narrative

A roofing crew was starting a roof installation, carrying up large rolls of insulation to be laid out. A gust of wind blew a roll over while an employee was holding its end, and the employee was pushed over the edge of the roofline. The employee fell to the ground, suffering a forehead laceration and a broken elbow. Fall protection was being worn, but was not adjusted for the distance to the ground.
