## Narrative

An employee was operating a side loader designed for narrow aisles to pick up pans filled with steel, which include 12-foot pans and others with 20-24 foot pans. The employee pulled the required amounts from the pans using a crane, and then packed and labeled the items for shipment to the loading dock. The side loader struck a pan, causing the cab to detach and land on the employee's leg, resulting in a fracture.
