Narrative

Two men were attempting to move the stacker. They did not follow standard procedure and removed the chock blocks before the loader was there. The wind from Tropical Storm Fay caught the stacker. The men tried to stop the stacker from rolling, but IE slipped and it ran over his right leg crushing it from the knee down. His leg was amputated on 8/25/08 below the knee.
