Narrative

The shop welder was attempting to straighten a metal step on the car body of an excavator. He was using a large pry bar and a propane torch to try and straighten the bent area. As he was applying pressure to the bar it rolled causing him to fall to the ground, when he fell the pry bar he was working with struck his gloved hand against the floor.
