Narrative

An employee had just placed wood cribbing on the ground in front of a forklift's forks and was trying to work a 5,000-pound cylinder off the forks and onto the cribbing. The cylinder rolled off the forks and caught the cuff on his glove. He was pulled down and pinned between the cylinder and the ground, suffering a dislocated right shoulder and a broken right arm.
