## Narrative

Four people were rebuilding the motor on the Deister. They used two come alongs to move the motor out of a confined area into an open area. One of the come alongs did not have its safety latches. This caused the come along to slip out of the motor's lifting eye and caused the motor to swing into the employee's knee.  Employee was confined to desk work.
