An employee was driving a scissor lift (in the down position) up a wooden site-built ramp. He had to turn the lift to the right as he started climbing the ramp. The left front wheel of the lift dropped off the edge of the ramp, causing the lift to tilt slightly to the left. The employee jumped out and landed on his right elbow on the concrete floor. His humerus was broken just above the elbow.
