Narrative

An employee was trying to show a coworker the controls on a skid steer to deactivate the interlock on the fork attachment. While the employee was pointing out the disengagement button, the coworker immediately pressed it, causing the forks to lift and pin the injured employee between the fork mast and the cab. The employee suffered a fractured hip.
