Narrative

An employee was trying to remove a jam from a baler machine. The employee restarted the system, then bent to check it after realizing that the bale was still not moving forward. A baler wire snapped and hit him in the head; his head then hit the door of the machine. He lost consciousness and suffered a skull fracture and head laceration.
