An employee was trying to restart an engine on a compressor that went down. The engine flywheel and starter were not aligned. The employee attempted to use a bar to roll over the flywheel when built-up air pressure caused the entire engine to roll over. The bar then slammed into the employee's left arm, resulting in an injury.
