Narrative

An employee working in the warehouse was unloading the palletizer with a forklift. While waiting for the pallet to fill, the palletizer table stuck in the upwards position. Once stuck it started dumping bags, so the employee stopped the system to clear the bags. When the EE picked up the first bag off the rollers EE felt a sharp pain and tearing feeling in EE's lower middle back.
