Narrative

During a sales blitz activity, an employee participated in one of the 'minute to win it' games. The game involves a small Kleenex box with balls in it and a ribbon that goes around the waist, and the player has to twist their waist to get the balls to come out. As the employee twisted her waist, she injured her knee.
