Narrative

A safe rescue line attached to the back of an employee standing on the ground got entangled on a handrail of a Bulk truck while pulling through an ammonium nitrate silo. With the line being tangled, it got tight and jerked the employee off their feet and into the ground causing injuries to left shoulder and right bicep.
