## Narrative

A large boulder fell from the loader bucket, causing the machine to pitch.  Although he was strapped in, the sudden movement caused the seat springs to compress and recoil which forced him into the cab roof. EE hit his head on the roof.  He was ok initially, but later complained of neck pain and sought medical treatment for a pinched nerve in his neck.
