Final narrative
An employee was stacking empty drums into a trailer. The employee then exited the trailer, using the forks of a forklift as a step. The forklift's parking brake failed, causing the forklift to move forward and pin the employee's right leg between the forklift and the trailer. The employee's right lower leg was crushed, resulting in a fracture and a laceration.
