## Narrative

Injured employee (IE) and a coworker were removing a pipe (10 round, 2 long, approx. 30 lbs).  IE was holding the pipe with gloved hands to control it when it became free.  Once free, the pipe slipped from his left hand and the weight moved his right arm downward quickly.  His right elbow struck the corner of a ladder resulting in a hyperextension and bicep tendon tear.
