## Narrative

An employee was pulling on a tree limb located on the ground using a 6-foot long hanger puller. When the hanger puller became dislodged from the limb, the employee tripped over an anchored guy wire directly behind him.

The employee sustained fractures to the right fibula, ankle, and left shoulder.
