EE & co-worker were changing hammers on impactor. They'd finished 1 set & were rolling impactor to do other set. Co-worker rolled impactor around, wheel started to free wheel to its heavy side, co-worker lost his balance & fell on wheel. EE reached in & pulled him back to keep him from falling. As EE was holding co-worker, impactor stopped & spun the other way catching EE's knee.
