Narrative

An employee was offloading bags from an aircraft when a bag became lodged at the top of the belt loader. The employee stood on a step and tried to dislodge the bag with one hand while holding a rail with the other hand. As the bag became dislodged, there was some spring action that caused the employee to lose footing and fall from the step to the concrete below. The employee fractured the left elbow.
