## Narrative

An employee was moving a small container to a staging area with a forklift. The employee lowered the container to the ground, but one of the forklift's forks jammed in the wheels of the container. The employee exited the lift and got the container to release. The pressure on the forks released and the left blade fell, landing onto the employee's big toe less than 2 feet below and cutting it. The employee was hospitalized. The toenail was removed.
