Narrative

An employee grinded a steel pipe that was approximately 24" in diameter x 40' long. An excavator machine with a nylon strap then raised the pipe. One end of the strap was connected to the excavator machine and the other end of the strap was around the pipe. During the pipe raising, one end of the pipe came free and struck the employee's left leg, breaking it below the knee.
