Final narrative
An longshoreman was walking up a gangway to board a moored ship to begin his shift. Another vessel was passing and caused the moored ship to break from the dock (the mooring lines broke). The longshoreman began to run and the mooring lines wrapped around him, picked him up, and dropped him onto the right side of his body. He sustained a broken upper right femur and a dislocated right hip requiring hospitalization and surgery.
