Narrative

PSC Employee was hydroblasting roof structures using a CRS 15K Shotgun. He states that he released the trigger, and relaxed his grip on the gun expecting it to depressure. The gun pressure did not decrease, causing him to lose his grip. The gun got away from the EE and whipped around, directing the stream in an upward angle from left to right across his legs.
