The Texas man fell as he was working at a construction site at Gateway Boulevard. He fell 30 feet and at approximately 15 feet, the safety rope snapped and he fell the rest of the way to the ground, reported inforney.com. The man was taken to a nearby hospital where he was said to suffer from non-life threatening injuries.
