Narrative

An employee had attached a crane sling to an 8-inch pipe, and the crane was holding the pipe with minimal tension while bolts were removed from its lower flange. The pipe came loose and knocked the employee off the trailer to the ground 6 feet below. The back of the employee's head struck the trailer after the fall, causing a head injury.
