## Narrative

At about 7:30 p.m. on April 22, 2022, two employees were trying to start a compressor. The compressor started after several attempts, but then continued to speed up. Its flywheel came apart and launched shrapnel, some of which struck one of the employees. He suffered lacerations and broken bones in both hands, the right shoulder, and the left thigh. He was hospitalized.
