An employee was repairing a tower master where cables come out of a bucket to load modules of dough into a trailer. He climbed into one of the buckets and a kink formed in the cable, which slid off a U-bolt and jerked, dropping  about 4 feet. Later, the cable came loose and the bucket fell about 25 feet to the ground with the employee still inside. He fractured his right foot and pinky toe and injured his vertebrae, requiring hospitalization.
