Narrative

An employee was cranking the handle of a material winch to raise a 6.5-foot lead cable from a manhole. At the apex, he released the crank handle and tried to retrieve the cable and pull it away from the opening. As the cable started to drop down into the manhole, the crank handle started freely spinning and struck his left forearm, breaking it.
