Narrative

The ground laborer was attempting to connect rope to the right hand side of the blade of the 10 rubbertire dozer. The rubbertire operator moved the rubbertire forward so the ground laborer could hook up the rope to the blade. He dropped the blade on to the ground, not aware that the blade was on the foot of the ground laborer.
