Wrenches: When you have 7 minutes, check out this video on 'fall restraint' - you may get dizzy (as I did) and you may wonder, as I did, HTF they built it in the first place: _http://video.yahoo.com/network/101149635?v=8244494&l=5144241_ (http://video.yahoo.com/network/101149635?v=8244494&l=5144241) Pat Redgate Ameco Solar In a message dated 9/24/2010 9:39:56 A.M.

The two instances are not the same. The skylight accident happened previous to April 2010, and the company is listed in the accident report , but I don't recall the name. They are a large CA electrical contractor.

I believe the young man fell through a skylight while moving equipment during construction. Much more likely way to die since most people assume a skylight will bear their weight if they fall against it. Edge of roof falls definitely occur, but self preservation instincts are usually much more heightened in these areas. Bill.

He backed off of a roof accidentally and was not wearing any fall protection. I have the official report of the accident, but the “multi-state full-service solar provider” that has “approximately 650 employees” was not identified. Anyone know which company this was?
