Narrative

Employees were testing a series of five high-pressure hoses. There was a disconnect between the first and second hose and pressure in the second, third, and fifth hoses that needed to be released. As this pressure was released, a hose whipped and struck an employee's right foot and left ankle. The ankle and the foot were both broken.
