## Narrative

An employee was rigging and guiding loads during crane operations. The crane lifted a 212-pound generator and tipped over with the boom crushing a nearby structure. Two employees on top of the structure jumped clear of the falling crane boom. A stanchion pole impaled the injured employee's upper thigh and they sustained lacerations to the thigh and buttocks. The second employee did not require medical treatment.
