Fractures

An employee was unloading a flatbed truck that was carrying a PMC, which is a cookie-sheet type of pallet that carries cargo for airlines. He was pulling the PMC manually because the bed of the truck has a roller bed that allows the PMC to move the length of the bed without using a powered industrial vehicle once it is unhooked and all the hooks are removed. The employee's left foot became lodged between the vehicle and the bypass system. The PMC hit the employee's leg while it was stuck and broke it in two places. He was hospitalized for surgery.
