## Narrative

 IP noticed air and water headers come down off the rib in a muck bay. IP decided to move the water line first by bending it back on itself and stuck the header into the ground.  As the IP was in the process of retrieving the air line, the water line came dislodged and the valve turned on.   The water line struck the IP's right forearm resulting in a fracture.
