Narrative

The forklift operator allowed co-worker to get a ride on the forklift, which is against company rules. They were going from chopper #5 to #1 chopper for a break, when forklift hit a bump in the roadway and the rider inadvertently fell off of forklift and sprained his left ankle. Totally unacceptable; what were they thinking?
