Narrative

Operator was back dragging with the loader bucket, placed his face near the frame of the loader to get a better view. At the same time, the bucket cylinder knuckle connection overcentered, jarring the operator. He made contact with the loader with his safety glasses pushing them against the bones in his face causing injury.
