Narrative

The mechanic was assigned to replace the tracks on a D-11. He was using a pry bar to get the clip, or gator, to the down position. The bar slipped caused the mechanic to fall to the ground. At the time the bar slipped, his foot was under the master track pad. The pad was being held up by a crib block.
