Narrative

An employee was moving a mold with a crane in the research development pilot cell. While the mold was being transported, the end effectors holding the mold became disengaged, allowing the mold to fall approximately 3 to 4 feet to the floor. The mold struck and crushed both of an employee's ankles.
