Narrative

An employee tried to reconnect an airline hose to a tilt table after using the hose to clean a piece of equipment. The table had been switched on, and it began to move to a vertical position while the employee was leaning under it to connect the hose. The employee was pinned between the table support beam and the front edge of the table. The employee suffered broken vertebrae in the back and was hospitalized.
