Narrative

Men were moving lengths of black poly pipe. They were using a forklift to pick up pipe off of ground to place on lowboy. A few pieces fell off lowboy. They went to retreive the pipe and almost had it back on lowboy when the weight of the pipe shifted and knocked him backwards and into a below ground level (6') containment area. He landed on his back.
