Final narrative

An employee was cleaning the boat and turtle traps while other crew members were pulling items such as ice chests, paddles/push poles, and the electrical conduit from the boat. The electrical conduit was then leaned against the front of the boat to be washed. The injured employee then got into the boat to help lift a box of nets. To pull the box from the gunwale, the employee exited the boat, and as they did, the electrical conduit suddenly shifted. One fell toward the employee and as it fell, the employee landed on the end of the pole and was impaled. The employee was hospitalized for internal bleeding and required surgery.
