## Narrative

An employee was removing a part from under a rotational mold cover, held by a chain hoist about 6-7 feet above the working surface. The chain slipped about 1 foot, after which the load brake activated; this caused the cover to bounce off of the chain hook, strike the employee, and then come to rest on top of him. He suffered multiple fractures.
