Narrative

An employee was using his hands to push and slide a paper roll onto the forks of a forklift when the operator inadvertently hit a button in the cab and the forks started to raise, causing the roll to move towards the employee. The employee began to run/jump out of the way when the roll struck the employee and pinched his leg against a second roll that was sitting on the floor behind him. He suffered a left fibula fracture.
