## Narrative

The worker was bracing a rock to prevent it from jumping when it was cut. The force of the cut proved too great for him to stop and the rock came at him off the end of the table. A pallet that he had placed behind himself earlier kept him from getting clear of the rock so it landed on his foot. Part of the rock landed above the steel toe crushing the foot and breaking one bone.
