Narrative

Two employees were working from a catwalk about 7 feet off the ground. The catwalk structure pulled out from the wall. It and one of the employees fell to the ground. The catwalk members pinned the employee's legs, injuring both (in particular, causing a dislocation to the left knee with blood vessel impairment).
