Narrative

A Loader Operator sustained an injury to his right biceps tendon while servicing his loader. He pulled a hose from a reel to add fluid to his machine then less than one minute in filling the machine the hose began to retract pulling his arm with the hose resulting in the injury. A tear of the biceps tendon was confirmed by results of an MRI.
