Narrative

EE was changing our wear shroud on a CAT 990 loader bucket. The bolt dropped past the shank allowing the bolt to spin. The EE used his gloved hand to push the bolt back up and inadvertently hit the trigger to the impact wrench. This caused the bolt to spin, cutting through the glove and cutting the EE's hand.
