Narrative

The boat loader was in the south dock final screening station washing spillage on the first floor with a high pressure water hose. As he shut the water hose valve off, the hose near the valve ruptured making it impossible to control the water or to hold onto the hose. The hose struck his feet causing him to fall into a steel support horse.
