Narrative

The injured employee was operating a 4 wheeled battery ride when he started through a check curtain. The curtain caught a bundle of plastic pogo sticks (tied together) and forced the end of the bundle onto the injured employees leg at the same time becoming lodged against the top. The result was a fracture of the lower leg.
