Narrative

The operator & 2 helpers were attaching the jib to the boom of a 90 ton hydraulic crane. The operator removed the pin on the side of the boom before he installed the 2 pins that hold the jib in place. This caused the entire jib to drop to the ground. One side of the jib struck the operator's hard hat as it fell to the concrete paving.
