## Narrative

An employee was power washing an idling pea picker (combine) when a leading length of power wash hose was caught and began wrapping around the picking head of the combine.  A length of the power wash hose dragged on the ground as the leading length uncontrollably wrapped, roping around the employee's right leg from behind and pulling the employee foot-first into the picking head.  The employee's right leg was forcefully pulled into the combine up to the knee, causing multiple fractures and lacerations.
