## Narrative

Two employees were moving spiral piping off a company vehicle. Two pieces of pipe were removed with a smaller piece of pipe inside the larger pipe. When they lowered the end to the ground, the interior pipe slid out, striking the ground and bouncing upward into the injured employee's right forearm. He sustained a laceration that required hospitalization.
