## Narrative

An employee was using a lift truck to put product away in an aisle. After putting product away in a slot, he backed out into a stack of pallets. The top pallet went into the operator compartment, pinning his leg and breaking his tibia and fibula. When he drove forward to free his leg, he fell out of the lift onto the floor. He was hospitalized, undergoing surgery.
