Narrative

Ops techs were pulling slack up in the trailing cable with a pu truck with the tech on the ground being inside the slight radius of the cable. The action of the cable forming a straight line between the cable tree and the pu truck swept the tech's feet out from under him causing him to land on his left shoulder. A medical procedure on 7/9/15 makes this incident reportable.
