The 20-year-old operator of Legoland’s Skyscraper Climb fell 25 feet Friday June 29th and suffered a broken right ankle, a splintered left heel and a fractured back and right wrist, according to Dean Fryer, spokesman for the state’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health.
The accident happened just after 6 p.m. Friday when the employee climbed close to the top of the outdoor 28-foot-high climbing wall. Fryer said it is not clear if the worker’s safety harness broke or if it was not connected properly. The agency is investigating the accident, he said.
Hmm, we wonder if there was any “free-soloing” going on?
