Narrative

Mechanics were lowering a tail pulley through an access port in the floor. When the pulley was tilted one of the cockers slipped, twisted, unlatched the safety clip releasing the chocker. This caused the mechanic's shoulder to be jerked down and to the right. So far only restricted duty has been prescribed.
