## Narrative

Employee stated he was bolting and had dropped his boom down against the floor, with pressure on it. He then lowered his canopy and raised the boom off the floor at about the same time. This caused the canopy to come down faster than he thought and it struck him on top the hard hat. He worked until 06/24/2010 when taken off by his doctor.
