## Narrative

An employee was moving a scrap bin with an overhead crane. As he was lowering the bin, a 20-inch diameter and 80-foot long pipe automatically kicked off of a conveyor into the area where he was standing. The pipe hit the bin and caused the bin to catch his right leg between the bin and a stationary table, fracturing it. He was hospitalized and had surgery.
