## Narrative

Three employees were replacing the canvas on an air slide. EE was attaching a chipping hammer to an air line to begin work while the other two employees were working on the opposite sides.  When EE was connecting to the air line, the bottom piece of the air slide fell onto his left foot.  His foot is not broken, but swollen and painful and he required an air cast.
