## Narrative

When lowering a pump into the pit, the excess hose likely slid down over the highwall and snapped the portion of the hose laying on the bench tight, which caused the portion hanging over the edge to jump over some rocks that stuck out from the highwall and straighten out across the bench, snapping the hose back towards the pickup and striking employee in the leg.
