At about 6:00 a.m. on January 3, 1998, Employee #1, a material recording, scheduling, and distribution clerk (courtesy clerk) for the Vons Company (a grocery chain) was operating a rented electric pallet jack. He was trying to maneuver a load when the pallet jack stalled. Employee #1 pushed hard and the pallet jack handle swung toward the guardrails.
