Narrative

EE had commenced bagging operations. After bagging (50lb. bags) for an hour, a bag was discharged from the bagger in a normal fashion, it started to fall off the catch platform. It rolled in a way as to fall to the floor (40""). He reacted in a manner which caused him to bend or twist to ""save"" the bag from falling on the floor.
