Narrative

An employee was rigging a steel bar with double leg sling chains. The hoist was raised while he was holding one chain leg by hand, and the chain leg on the floor caught under the roller table the bar was resting on. The chain pushed the bar off the rollers, and it broke the employee's ankle.
