EMS crews rescued two roofers who slipped and fell off the top of the Dallas Cowboy’s Football stadium roof.   The two were part of a team working to finish work on the stadium’s fabric roof panels.  It is reported they were not wearing saftey harnesses or required equiptment.

It’s estimated the roofers slid 50-75 feet on the frozen roof surface before free falling into the gigantic gutter system.   It took firefighters 25 minutes to reach the two.   One man suffered chest and head trauma and was airlifted from the scene.   The other man suffered back injuries and was hauled off in an ambulance.

The stadiums roof is the largest domed stadium in the world, rising some 300 feet above the ground.   The men were lucky the gutter caught them.

Birdair is the contracting company employing the workers.  OSHA was already on the scene by the time reports showed up to report the story.
