Narrative

While inspecting a hopper for blockage, the injured turned to get further instructions from the operator. The injured was unaware that his hand dangled between the top of the hopper and the hopper door. The hydraulic hopper door automatically cycled closed and pinched the injured's hand causing a fracture to his left wrist.
