The employee was cleaning the release handles on a CAT Uni-loader (Skidsteer) with the bucket hanging down and elevated approximately 1 foot off the ground.  When the handles released, the bucket rotated forward and dropped off of the attachment plate bouncing off of his right foot and breaking several bones in the top of his right foot.
