Abstract: At approximately 9:50 a.m. on October 6, 2003, an employee was operating a towmotor forklift. His job duties included cleaning, repairing, maintenance jobs and operating the forklift. He was driving from the back to the front of the backyard to pick up a table. The forklift was in good working condition. When he got to the middle of the yard, he made a right turn and the forklift started tilting to the right and eventually tipped over. The employee stated that he was shot out of the forklift when it tipped over. The gas tank and the cage landed on top of him. He was transported to the Los Angeles General Hospital and hospitalized for 21 days with two broken ribs and a fractured pelvis.
