Narrative

An employee was picking up two bundles of rebar using a telescoping forklift. As the forklift reversed, it ran over a piece of concrete and became unbalanced. The forklift tipped over to the left side, and the rebar began to fall toward the middle of the cab, where the employee was sitting. When the employee jumped out of the forklift, his feet were caught on the handle bar and he was pulled under the machine. His legs were crushed by the driver's side handle bar.
