## Narrative

IE was assisting a fellow EE in the removal of a water pump. It was being lifted with the aid of a come-a-long. It appears there was a mechanical failure in the lifting device that caused the pump to drop suddenly. When the pump dropped it jerked his arm as he was holding onto the chain guiding the pump. This caused a strain to his right arm. He returned to modified duty.
