Narrative

While demolishing an overhead door, an employee loosened bolts to the bracket holding the spring that helps lift the overhead door. The spring was un-sprung and still had tension. When the bolts were removed, the spring sprung, causing the bracket to spin and strike the employee. The employee suffered left arm lacerations, left thumb and finger fractures, a broken right arm and thumb, and multiple right arm lacerations.
