Narrative

An employee was trying to retrieve a box behind some metal fence pickets. The employee was standing on a pallet between the pickets when a bundle of pickets (weighing about 1,020 pounds) toppled over on the employee's ankle, trapping it between bundles of pickets and causing multiple breaks.
