Narrative

An employee was replacing a cylinder and shut off the pneumatic pressure and removed the hose to the solenoid to ensure no air was in the system. While taking the top nut off the solenoid bracket, the cant pickup became unstuck and dropped down, catching his arm between the cant pickup and a support beam. The employee suffered a broken right arm.
