Inspired by the very similar thread about school incidents.

    Guy was up on a mezzanine installing rubber roofing (I work in an RV factory), suddenly either seized or fainted or had a stroke, nobody’s really sure, fell off the catwalk and landed on his head 19ft below on concrete. Died immediately. It happened maybe 50ft from my workstation.

    The company suits came by to sing kumbaya and tell us how we’re all a “family”, took a single day of production off (so they could clean the blood up, presumably) and production started back up as normal. He had been working there for 25 years.

      That’s rough. He should have definitely been clipped onto the railing with a safty harness on.
