## Narrative

An employee was moving a barge upriver, using a winch and cable to give slack in the mooring lines so they could be removed. As the cable reeled in on the winch, it caught the employee's life vest and pulled him into the winch pulley bolted to a stanchion. He suffered a broken hip and was hospitalized.
