## Narrative

A salvage vehicle was on a front-end loader/forklift with the forks completely down. The operator got out of the loader to retrieve something from the salvage vehicle when the forks on the front-end loader began to lift the vehicle up while he was in it. He went to step out of the vehicle and fell five to six feet to the dirt pad below. The employee sustained fractured hip and pelvic bones.
