Tech was removing a mount plate from a damaged trailer jack stand. The stand sat unsecured on 2 sawhorses requiring stabilization by hand. Using a 4 1/2-in grinder with a cutoff wheel, the wheel moved across a weld, contacting the edge of the material. This caused the grinder to catch and kickback. This force drove the grinder downward into the tech's right thigh above the knee.
