Three employees were operating a crane on the jobsite. They were getting ready to take some spouting and needed more length on the sling, so they had to remove the jib. The person on the crane platform was attempting to remove the jib and could not get it. Another employee came to help take the pin out.  Once they removed the pin, the jib fell on the employee who was trying to remove the pin, breaking his right leg.
