Did you see that? - Losing situational awareness because of new technology

During the work scope, the inspection phase required pictures to be taken via an iPad. A technician was looking through the iPad trying to get the right image and was walking backwards to get all the elements into the picture. As the technician walked backwards the individual lost situational awareness of the exposed hazards, tripping and falling backwards. The technician landed on the elbow, which resulted in a fracture.
