Abstract: At 10:00 a.m. on May 19, 2021, an employee working for a County Department of Public Works was operating a 2004 Lift-All Model L0M15-55-1S Bucket Truck (serial number 7490050455L0M15) to move tree sections at jobsite. The employee had connected to a tree with the equipment's onboard winch and was attempting to pick up the tree using the hydraulic boom of the truck. As the employee raised the boom, the winch disconnected from the tree creating a sling-shot effect that ejected the employee from the bucket. The employee fell approximately 25 feet onto an embankment. The employee was hospitalized to treat injuries to his lower back, a shattered right pelvis, displaced right femur, injury to the left knee, puncture wound to the lower left leg, and had blood clots in his lung.
