Abstract: At approximately 4:45 a.m. on October 30, 2012, Employee #1, a fiberglass worker, was working with a coworker moving four acrylic glass panels that would make up a shark aquarium to the other side of the plant to install in the openings. The coworker was operating the forklift while the employee was still inside the upside down piece. The coworker operating the forklift moved one of the end pieces, and the unsupported middle pieces tipped over as the two pieces collapsed inward, striking Employee #1 on the lower leg and chest. The employee was transported to Sharp Grossmont Hospital, where he was treated for a compound fracture to his right leg that required surgery, and was hospitalized for four days.
