Narrative

A maintenance employee was assisting in the replacement of a cylinder for a de-barker's kicker at the crossover deck. The employee was using a chain hoist to re-position the log kicker when the log kicker suddenly moved, releasing the chain hoist. The log kicker fell and struck the employee's left leg causing an open tibia and fibula fracture.
