Narrative

An employee was standing on a bale of hay to pull a separate bale of hay from the top of a semi-truck bed for a customer. The bales of hay were held together by metal baling wire. When the employee went to undo the bale, the metal baling wire broke, causing him to fall off the hay bale and land on his left hip. The employee suffered a broken left hip.
