A crane cable was pulled out of plumb while upending a pre-assembled steel formwork. As the formwork started to leave the ground it self-corrected and swung toward the crane. After reaching plumb, the formwork continued toward the crane in an pendulum motion. The injured employee was assisting with the positioning and was caught between the formwork and a section of the crane. The employee's right elbow was injured.
