Narrative

An employee was walking backwards in front of his pallet jack when he tripped on a nearby pallet. He fell towards the floor and grabbed the drive handle of his pallet jack, causing the pallet jack to release its brake and drive forward. His right ankle and foot were crushed between the pallet jack and a pallet.
