Final narrative
An employee was picking up two bundles of rebar using a telescoping forklift. As the forklift reversed, it ran over a piece of concrete and became unbalanced.

When the employee jumped out of the forklift, his feet were caught on the handle bar and he was pulled under the machine. His legs were crushed by the driver's side handle bar.
