Employee's ankle and fibula fractured in hay baler

Employee #1 was standing on a slippery hay table and asked a coworker to activate the baler machine. Once activated, the compressed bale passes through the knotter under hydraulic ram pressure. The rammed bale of hay struck Employee #1 in his lower legs and pushed his feet in front of the hydraulically-driven pusher. The pusher pushed his feet against the steel frame and fractured his left ankle and right fibula.
