Narrative

Two employees were being hoisted in a manbasket by a crane (approx 10 ft) when the operator noticed the cable unwinding from the drum. The employees were lowered to the ground by the operator as the cable became fully unwound, thus dropping the block and cable down into the basket. The employees were able to get out of the basket, however, one was struck in the foot by the cable.
