Narrative

While cleaning material buildup from underneath field conveyor using a Bobcat loader, the employee climbed out of the vehicle to inspect a pin which had worked loose on the boom arm. After climbing back into the Bobcat, the employee bypassed the safety devices and operated the equipment standing up and became pinned between the boom crossmember and the roof of the cab.
