A 53-year-old truck driver was killed when a 1,010 pound support arm fell on him. He was in the process of setting up a portable rubble plant which is used for crushing concrete. Part of the setup involves rotating a support leg 90 degrees from the transport position to the stationary position. The support leg pivots from the transport position to the stationary position on a 3-1/2 foot bolt with a one-inch diameter. The threads on the bolt stripped and the nut fell off allowing the support arm to fall on the victim.
