Narrative

A forklift pushed a pallet of metal sheets onto a slitter machine. An employee came to push the pallet forward by hand so the machine could grab onto it. When he pushed it, the pallet broke causing the metal sheets to move backward toward the employee. The sheets slid down onto his left leg causing a fracture to the ankle.
