Yes, it's true. It was the only serious accident that occured during the filming of 2001. The set of HAL's "Logic Memory Center" was 3 stories high. A workman (I think he was trying to catch a falling light) fell and broke his back. The incident is mentioned in "The Making of Kubrick's 2001" by Jerome Agel.
