Narrative

The operator was using a 992G model to clean up a pit. He was loading the remains of a pad previously used by a PC 3000. While loading the bucket, the machine was stopped by a rock. The sudden stop of the machie caused the operator's wrist to be pushed against the joy stick and resuled in a sprain of the wrist.
