Narrative

An employee was manipulating a 3-foot tall industrial warehouse rolling gate to determine why it was squeaking during operation. The gate fell over and struck the employee's left leg, causing him to fall off a loading dock and hit his head on the ground. The employee sustained brain injuries, three cranial fractures, a left leg fracture, and rib fractures.
