The product, in the report: metal extension ladder
The victim placed the extension ladder on to the concrete leaning up against the edge of the roof of his garage to climb onto his roof when the ladder collapsed (telescoped down) causing the 180lbs 5’6” victim to fall onto his bottom on the concrete surface.
The ladder was extended and he is not sure exactly which step he was on when the collapse occurred. His wife drove him to see his primary care physician at Sutter West Medical in Davis California
After diagnosing the victim with a concussion his primary care physician then referred him neurosurgeon who took x-rays and diagnosed him with having a compression fracture in the first lumbar vertebrae and he was prescribed pain medication.
He was advised that he would need surgery and referred to see a bone specialist. He has an appointment with the bone specialist(exact title of the doctor is unknown) on 1/19/2012. Both doctors advised him not to return to work.
He attempted to duplicate the failure with the ladder but was not able to do so and there was no damage done to the ladder or it s hardware. He indicated that the ladder did not lock properly which caused it to collapse.
He did not contact the firm and indicated and he has not used the ladder since the failure occurred.
