Narrative

2 employees were attempting to close a roll-up door. One employee was pulling on the door and a 2nd employee was waking to the other end. As the 1st employee added more tension, the door fell to the floor. The 1st employee tried to get out the the way but the door scraped his back and he fell to the floor with his lower legs pinned under the door.
