Final narrative
An employee was hooking a crane hook onto bundles of rebar in a ship's cargo hold. Two bundles of rebar got stuck together, so the employee lowered the bundles and cut them from each other using bolt cutters. There was still some tension on one of the pieces of rebar; when the employee cut the bundle strap it swung, hitting and breaking his lower leg.
