Final narrative
An employee was just finishing up loading a barge. The employee was on the barge to unhook the back cable attached to the tug at the back of the barge. The employee was walking toward the front of the barge and the cable line sprang up to chest height. He continued to walk to the front of the barge to get out of the cable's way. When he was toward the front corner, he swung his leg around and over the timberhead. Just as his leg was going over the cable, the cable pinned his leg between the cable and the timberhead breaking the lower leg.
