## Narrative

3 mech's were disassembling a Crane. The pennant lines were still connected to the boom and the tip was blocked. The injured removed the lower pins from a section of boom not realizing that it would cause the boom to move in a ""hinge type"" motion. The boom hinged catching his foot between the boom section and the ground. Resulting in 4 broken bones to his foot.
