Narrative

The employee was walking through the mill helping other employees set up to clean up spilled material. As the material went down the hose it caused the hose to jerk and move. As the injured employee stepped over the hose, the hose jerked striking the employee on his left leg. This caused the employee to fall back on his right leg. This caused him to hyper-flex his right ankle.
