Excellencies, I am asentador brick. On June 8 was working alone on the roof of a six-story building. When I finished my work I checked had left, more or less, 250 pounds of bricks. Instead of referring them to hand down, I decided to place them in a drum and with the help of a pulley, which fortunately was fixed on one side of the building on the sixth floor, make them fall. Descendí and tied the drum with a rope and went to the roof. I pushed the drum up and put the bricks inside. I went back down, desaté rope and secured with strength, so that the 250 pounds of bricks down slowly. As I only weight 80 pounds, what was my surprise when I suddenly elevé soil, I lost my presence of mind and I forgot to let go of the rope. It goes without saying that I was lifting soil at high speed. In the vicinity of the third floor, choqué against descending drum, which explains the fractured skull and collarbone departure. I continued to rise at a rate slightly lower, not stopping until my fingers were hooked on the pulley. Fortunately he had regained my presence of mind and got, despite the pain, follow grasped the rope.
More or less at the same time, the drum with the bricks fell to the ground and the fund was started. Without the bricks the drum weighed about 25 kilograms. As you can imagine, I began to decline rapidly. Near the third floor I found that the drum was climbing, which explains the fractured ankles and the lacerations on his legs and lower body band. At meet the drum, decreased speed of my descent enough to minimize my pain when I fell on top of the bricks. Fortunately I only fractured three vertebrae. I regret, however, report that when I was dropped over the bricks, with pain and unable to get up, I came over the drum, I lost again the presence of mind and solté rope. The drum weighed more than the cord, then fell and fell on top of my legs. This made me immediately caused the fracture of both limbs. I hope I have given details of how the accident happened.
