## Narrative

An employee was assisting a forklift operator with loading a truck and placing chocks on the wood boards for loading. While the forklift operator lifted a pipe, a group of pipes rolled back in place, but a single metal pipe was held at the tip of the forks and slipped out of place. The pipe fell on the floor and bounced toward the employee, striking and crushing his left foot and leg, which resulted in fractures.
