Abstract: On April18, 2013, Employee #1, with Ameron International Corporation, was pulling a pressurized water hose when it got a kink in it. As Employee #1 yanked to free the hose of the kink, the built up pressure caused a surge of water in the hose. This caused the hose to whip around. Employee #1 lost his balance, when the hose whipped, and he fell, landing on top of his leg. Employee #1 was hospitalized, with torn ligaments in his left leg.
