Narrative

EE had noticed a belt roller that was frozen on the belt line. EE thought that EE could free it using EE's hammer, but when EE hit the roller, the hammer got caught between the belt & roller, pulling EE's left arm around the top roller. X-rays revealed a small fracture in the scapula. EE also had swelling in the arm that required surgery to remove pressure.
