Final narrative
An employee was anchored to a movable piece of equipment called a "lid" with a self-retracting lifeline harness. An overhead crane lifted the equipment, causing the employee to be pulled by his harness. The employee was pulled off the walkway and swung over the wall of the kiln. His body and head struck the wall. The employee lost consciousness and sustained a laceration to the side of his head that required stitches. The employee also sustained multiple fractured ribs and fractured vertebrae.
