Narrative

An employee was holding onto the dryer's control panel that was on the fork of a pallet jack operated by his co-worker. As the pallet jack was coming down the aisle, the control panel (weighing about 400 pounds) hit a box and the control panel fell onto the employee's leg fracturing the tibia.
