Narrative

The employee stated that as he was crossing the extendable tubing (baloney skin) attached to the back of the auxillary ventilation fan, he lost his balance and fell backwards onto the baloney skin. The force of the exhausting air caused him to jerk back up into the upright position. He later complained of back pain.
