Narrative

The EE was aligning a pipe next to an existing pipe that was set in a 45 deg angle. Existing pipe had a support towards the bottom but was being held at top by a victaulic clamp only. The EE pushed the bottom of the pipe at the support section to put the other pipe in place, as he did this the victaulic clamp failed causing the pipe to swing & hit the EE on the back of his head.
