Narrative

Employee of Ball Service Inc. was working a come-a-long for a guide wire that had been tore out by an excavator. When EE pushed down on the com-a-long, the catch never caught on the com-a-long and flew back and hit him in the right jaw. EE had to have 3 stitches inside of his jaw and 5 stitches on the outside.
