Narrative

A crane was taking a bent section of pipe out of a portable scrap pocket. As an employee removed a sling on one side of the scrap pocket, the scrap pocket fell over. One of the parts in it struck the employee on the back, knocking him to the ground. He suffered fractured vertebrae, a broken nose, and a facial injury that required stitches. He was hospitalized.
