Man dies after suffering head injury at work

Posted on August 29th, 2011 No Comments

A man is now being remembered by loved ones after he suffered a traumatic brain injury in a workplace accident.

The accident occurred last week while the man was at work and a large steel bin fell onto him causing him to be trapped underneath and to suffer from serious head injuries.

Officials said that the head injuries were so severe, there was nothing that they could do for him. Friends and neighbors are now collecting funds in order to help the family with costs.

Our thoughts are with the friends and family of the victim at this time.

Walt Disney World keeps ride closed after mechanic’s death

Posted on June 8th, 2011 No Comments

Walt Disney World is currently still investigating the death of a resort mechanic that occurred while he was working on the Primeval Whirl. The ride was scheduled to reopen in April, but that was postponed so that an investigation could be completed.

The ride was originally shut down in January for maintenance and then in March, the 52-year-old mechanic was killed when he was struck by one of the ride vehicles in the attraction.

The man suffered a major head injury and was pronounced dead later that day. This is not the first time that an accident occurred that caused the Primeval Whirl to need safety upgrades. In November 2007, a worker was hit by a ride vehicle and it caused her to fall three feet where she hit her head and died five days later.

A 24-year-old man died on Saturday from injuries that were sustained in a workplace accident less than a week before.

The man worked for AmeriCold Logistics, who employs about 5,000 worldwide. The details of the accident are unknown at this point, but it is known that a dock plate fell onto the man.

He was then transported to the York Hospital where he had been recovering in the trauma surgical intensive care unit. He passed away five days later. Officials with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are continuing to investigate the accident.

Head and brain injuries that occur in workplace accidents can change the lives victims and their families, our thoughts are with them at this time.
