Narrative

The injured employee was part of a crew that was off loading a barge of 10' scrap pipe encased in concrete. One of the joints was not lying straight, so the injured employee stood on top of the pile of pipe kicking it in order to roll it into place. It rolled into place, and when it moved, he fell and another piece of pipe rolled up onto the back of his leg fracturing it.
