## Narrative

An employee was lifting a spool of lay-flat pipe from the ground with a skid steer. The piston on the deployer that locks in place to keep the spool from sliding out of the deployer failed. The spool fell to the ground and fell over. The employee turned to get out of the way when he lost his balance and the spool fell on his hip and legs. The employee's tibia was fractured in two places.
