## Narrative

WHILE MECHANIC WAS PUSHING A SET OF O2 BOTTLES INTO THE SOUTH END MANLIFT, THE SMALL WHEELS OF THE CART FELL INTO A GAP BETWEEN THE GRATING OF THE DECK AND THE THRESHOLD OF THE DOOR. THIS CAUSED THE CART TO TIP BACK AND THE HANDLE OF THE O2 BOTTLE TO STRIKE THE MECHANIC ON THE UPPER LIP.
