Narrative

On February 18, 2016, an employee attempted to clean the air filters on a plugged up industrial vacuum loader. He raised the motor section from the collection bin with the four built-in air bladders. The air bladders lost their pressure and the motor section dropped onto the employee's arm, pinching it between the motor section and the bin. His lower right arm broke.
