Narrative

An employee was removing the straps from a load on a flatbed 18-wheeler. As the employee removed the last two straps, two bundles of aluminum extrusion (30 feet long, weighing 866 and 699 pounds) fell from the side of the load and struck him. He suffered severe fractures to the right leg, as well as fissures to his vertebrae.
