The accident Mason
Dear Sir:
I am writing in response to your request for additional information in Block # 3 of the accident reporting form. I put "The lack of planning" as the cause of my accident. You asked for a fuller explanation and I trust the following details will be sufficient.
I am a bricklayer. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six-story building. When I finished my work, I found I had some bricks left over which when weighed later were found to weigh 240 pounds. Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley which was attached to the side of the building on the sixth floor. Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the roof, turned the barrel out and loaded the bricks into. So I went over and untied the rope, holding it tightly to ensure a slow descent of the 240 pounds of bricks. You note on the accident reporting form that my weight is 135 pounds.
Due to my surprise at being ripped from the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to go off the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rapid rate up the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel which was down at a speed so impressive. This explains the fractured skull, minor abrasions and the broken collarbone, as listed in Section 3, accident reporting form.
Slowed slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were wedged into the pulley which I mentioned in Paragraph 2 of this correspondence. Fortunately, at that time already had regained my presence of mind and was able to grab the rope, despite the pain that I was already beginning to experience. At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks fell down and fell to the bottom of the barrel. Now without the weight of the weight of the bricks, the barrel weighed approximately 50 pounds.
I refer again to my weight. As you can imagine, I
