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.

My fall arrester back in the day was called a “screamer” and it was kind of folded bungee/webbing. When you hit the end of the tether it unfolded and let you fall more slowly. So definitely did not stop immediately.
