## Narrative

A sight string was hung from the roof screens so that the cans in the tailgate could be set in a straight line. After wedging in a can, the mini-trac was tramming out-by to get another can when the sight string got caught on the machine and was jerked down resulting in the ""J"" hook hitting the injured employee in the right cheek. 7 stitches were required.
