## Narrative

An employee was on the ground, guiding a 20-foot-long, 6-inch pipe into a well casing. As the pipe was lowered (by a crane, using a nylon sling), it slipped, hitting the ground and the mud jack and eventually striking the employee. He was knocked into a nearby truck and suffered a broken arm.
