Narrative

While removing a valve, a mechanic accidentally bumped a 24 inch pry bar, which fell through a grating opening, striking the pipe below, then falling at an angle, striking an employee working approximately 15' to the side of the overhead work, resulting in a non-displaced curvilinear fracture of the scapula.
