Narrative

An employee stepped off a stand-up pallet jack and was maneuvering around it when he stepped back into another, parked pallet jack that had two empty pallets on it. He fell back onto one of the pallets and his right leg was pinned between the pallets and his own moving pallet jack. The lower leg was broken above the ankle.
