An employee lifted a 3,000-pound fuel cell off a floor using an overhead hoist in order to put it in a fork truck. When the fuel cell was about 18-24 inches off the floor, the employee began to turn the fuel cell to get it to line up in the truck. One of the eye bolts failed, causing the fuel cell to drop and land on the employee's right foot. The employee's first, second, fourth, and fifth toes were broken.
