Narrative

Employee was assigned to stack paper bags filled with 50 pounds on pallets 12 rows high. While stacking the top row, the employee lifted a 50-pound bag from a waist-high position, moved to his right and lifted to a head-high position to toss the bag across the stack and to the far corner of the stack. At that time, he felt something `pop? in his right shoulder.
