Narrative

An employee was staging an air compressor that was set on a trailer in preparation to run a "pig" through a pipeline. The trailer wheels jumped the vehicle chocks and started to roll. The employee tried to grab the trailer to keep it from rolling. The employee fell to the ground and the jack stand for the trailer landed on the employee's legs. The employee suffered a fractured left leg and possible fracture to a right toe, requiring hospitalization.
