Narrative

An employee was standing on their flatbed truck adjusting a cargo pallet. He pulled one of the pallet boards and the board broke, causing the employee to lose his balance and jump 4 feet off the flatbed. The employee landed on a concrete surface and sustained a fractured left heel that required surgery.
