Narrative

Mechanics were installing a canopy on a shuttle car. The canopy was laying upside down; in order to orient it properly they had the scoop operator bring the scoop to it. The mechanic hooked a chain to the canopy & to the scoop's ram jack to pull the canopy up in the scoop bucket. The canopy caught on the lip of the bucket, swung around & the corner landed on the injured's foot.
