While turning a corner around two rows of 82-inch-high double-stacked gaylords, the coworker failed to slow down and did not sound the horn. As a result, the forklift ran over the feet of Employee #1. Employee #1 sustained two broken toes on the right foot and four toe amputations on the left foot. Employee #1 was hospitalized for treatment.
