Narrative

The employee was rolling up a fuel hose using an air driven reeler, when the hose (which was kinked) straightened out, twisting the end of the hose. The right hand of the employee stayed in the handle on the end of the hose, causing the wrist to twist, causing a hair line fracture to a carpel bone in the right wrist.
