Narrative

Employee was pulling a roll of flex line on an elevated bed of a pump truck with a 4"" strap. Another employee was pushing the roll. As the roll broke over the edge, the employee stopped it briefly and then let it go but attempted to slow the momentum of the fall and therefore the weight of the roll jerked his wrist from the weight causing pain.
