ARLINGTON, Texas — Two workers were hospitalized after slipping on the icy roof of Cowboys Stadium on Thursday morning and sliding 250 feet before stopping at the edge, Arlington officials said.
The men crashed into a gutter, which prevented them from falling over the side. Fire officials said that the men appeared to be wearing safety harnesses but that the harnesses were not attached to the roof.
Arlington Assistant Fire Chief Don Crowson said that because the men slid flat against the roof, they didn’t appear to be in danger of falling to the ground. But he said that doesn’t mean that’s not a fear for someone working without safety gear.
