SRS Death Could Have Been Prevented By Better Rappel Safety
The U S Energy Department released a preliminary report on the April 3 death of Clifford Gainey at the Savannah River Site during a buddy rappel training exercise. A rope slipped at a 40 foot tower gate, pinning Gainey and Archie Luther. Gainey died from chest injuries. The report blames management gaps and recommends reviewing rappelling requirements at SRS. Gainey was employed via Wackenhut Corp. Final findings from the board are due in May.
