Final narrative
An employee was using a clamp fork truck to load a railcar with rolls of material. The employee exited the lift to put a mat between two of the rolls. The roll held by the fork truck's clamp (60 inches, weighing 3,000-3,500 pounds) dropped from the clamp onto his arm, covering it from hand to bicep. He sustained compartment syndrome, with blood clots, in the arm.
