## Narrative

EE was hanging 4 cables along the side of screen feed. EE secured the cables with zip ties. EE hoisted the cables up in EE's left hand and as EE lifted the zip tie EE had just secured failed causing the cables to fall while EE was holding them just above shoulder height. The weight of the cables came down and rolled off of EE's hand towards EE's thumb causing it to bend backwards.
