Narrative

Employee was on the catwalk located at the c-19 conveyor. He was assisting 2 other employee with the re-spooling of the cable. A section of the conveyor ""dropped down"" the belt went into a ""wave like motion"" causing them to be tossed upward off the belt, and the cables somehow whipped in the air and wrapped around his legs, pulled him upward, then dropped him.
