Narrative

An employee was loading a trailer with a forklift. The product shifted and some items fell off the pallet that was on his forks. After he dismounted to pick up the product, the forklift's parking brake failed and the forklift rolled forward. The forks pinned his right ankle to the pallet, causing multiple fractures to the ankle.
