## Narrative

Employee stated he was taking the water truck down the intake slope using the air-brakes to verify braking.  Brake overuse bled off the air; locking up the center-axle and wheels.  This caused the truck to skid. The employee nosed the truck into the rib to stop.  Per medical evaluation, the impact jarred the employee's lower back causing a lumbar strain.
