Narrative

An employee was cutting up a felled tree with a chainsaw. The chainsaw got stuck and the employee turned it off. Another employee stepped between the tree and another tree, pushing down the tree with the chainsaw stuck in it. The tree freed itself from the stump and hit the employee's left knee, fracturing and dislocating it.
