Narrative

An employee was inspecting rail cars from the top to ensure they were ready to accept grain for shipment. The rail car moved and he ducked to avoid the grain spout, which snagged his fall protection, causing him to fall into the rail car. His fall protection caught him, but he struck the wall of the car and suffered facial injuries including a potential orbital fracture.
