Narrative

An employee was using an overhead crane to move a 6,000-pound steel bar. As the bar was lifted, a bar behind it fell, hitting the bar that the employee was moving. That bar then swung and struck him in the left leg. The bar that fell also struck the employee's right leg. The right leg was amputated.
