An employee was maneuvering a manlift over a speed bump at a crawl when the manlift accelerated and lunged forward as the front wheels went over the speed bump. The employee was lifted into the air and straight back down onto his feet in the basket. He then dropped down into a seated position. This jarring action broke his lower right leg.
