## Narrative

A dozer operator was attempting to enter the dozer push by travelling over a 6 foot berm. He misjudged the distance between the end of the push and the berm and tracked down the spoil wall approx. 40 feet. When the dozer stopped abruptly, his forehead struck the radio equipment mounted overhead, causing lacerations that required 17 sutures. The operator was wearing his seatbelt.
