## Narrative

An employee went to assist a forklift operator to stabilize a load of core boards. The core boards cascaded down, pinning the employee between the boards and a metal lift that holds other core boards. The boards then fell onto the employee's ankles, resulting in a right tibia fracture and left leg fracture.
