tl;dr - Guy was wearing fall protection gear that was set to protect from a 55 foot fall.
He broke through the roof of a storage tank, fell 42 feet, and died.
Oregon law requires fall protection for more than 6 feet.

The system was designed to protect someone from falling 55 feet off the top of the tank, this poor guy broke through the roof where it was only 42 feet to the floor, 13 feet short of the fall protection kicking in. :(
