## Narrative

An employee was climbing a ladder while carrying 12-foot metal trims to the roof. As the top end of the metal rose above the parapet wall of the roof, a strong gust of wind spun the metal backward, causing the employee to lose his grip on the metal. The trims lacerated his left wrist, which required hospitalization and surgery.
