## Narrative

Two employees were clearing dry vegetation on a steep slope.  One employee was cutting brush at the top of the slope with a saw attachment on a weed eater while the other was dragging the cut brush to a staging area.  The saw blade kicked through a section of brush striking the second employee in the upper left front side torso resulting in a laceration.
