## Narrative

A forklift operator had just placed a 3-high stack of bundled lumber on the ground. He then backed the forks out from underneath the bundles and exited the forklift. He used a pair of snips to cut the nylon banding off the top bundle. The top bundle moved and the bottom board fell to the ground. As the employee moved away from the stacked bundles, he tripped over the forks and fell to the concrete ground. The employee was hospitalized with fractures to the right ilium and femur.
