Narrative

An employee was positioning a stand-up lift truck to pick up parts. When the operator turned the steering wheel, a tire on the lift grabbed the floor. The lift swung around, causing the operator to fall out of the lift. The operator fell up against racking and the lift pinned him between the rack and the lift fracturing ribs.
