Narrative

EE used a come along to reposition a take-up pulley, this process was inadequate. So they got a crane. The come along was hooked onto an I-beam which worked with the previous direction of pull. As the crane passed the come along, direction of pull changed. Adjusting, the employee pulled the come along to the side, allowing it to fall off the I-beam causing an ulnar fracture.
