## Narrative

An employee had just cleared a clog in a drag and re-energized the motor. The employee asked another employee at the control panel to turn on the drag. When that happened, the motor malfunctioned causing the chain and pulley system to shift, striking the employee and throwing them over the guard rail to the ground below. The employee sustained a broken ankle and shoulder injury.
