Narrative

An employee was testing a sewage pipe that was 9 feet above ground level when the pipe became over-pressured, causing the test ball to be ejected. The ball struck a portable ladder, which then fell and struck the injured employee's hard hat. The employee fell backward into the eye hook of a metal crate that was 3' x 4' x 2.5' high. He was hospitalized with a fractured sacrum.
