## Narrative

After checking a pump, Employee felt something hit his L arm. A witness said that as the dragline swung toward the pit after dumping, a rock fell from the lip of the bucket. Considering that the pump was located near the swing radius of the dragline, it is believed that centrifugal force caused the falling rock to hit the operator. Employee's L arm was cut and elbow was fractured.
