## Narrative

An employee and a coworker were removing a 2,500-pound block of concrete using a front-end loader that was hooked to a crane. The coworker was driving the loader while the employee guided the concrete when a corner of the block hit another block and started spinning around. The employee was attempting to stop it from spinning around when the chain came undone, allowing the concrete to fall on and fracture his right leg.
