Incident on May 4, 2015: Employee fractures several bones when pinned by falling hay
At 9:15 a.m. on May 4, 2015, an employee was loading hay bales, weighing approximately 100 lbs each, onto the bed of pickup truck with a co-worker. The employee was lifting each bale up with a gancho, a metal hook, and handed it to his co-worker who was standing in the truck bed and stacking the bales in 4 to 5 layers. They loaded the last bale when several hay bales tipped over and struck the employee on his back, pinning him between the hay bales and the truck. His co-worker drove the truck forward to release him. The employee was transported to Stanford Hospital where he was hospitalized for a 7-day period for treatment of a fractured hip and four broken ribs.
