## Narrative

The injured worker was cleaning up & lifted the old wire (6 gage) & began to walk up the pond bank & felt back ""crunch"", but did not really hurt at that time. The injured worker finished cleaning up with a Sun Chemical Maintenance worker & sat in the office to cool. When the worker went to get up later, back was locked up & could hardly walk.
