## Narrative

Two pumpers were connecting 6"" pipe. The track hoe was connected to the opposite end of the connection. After communicating his intentions, the other pumper began to align the gasket. As he aligned the gasket, the track hoe operator was startled by material movement behind him. This made him hit the machine's swing, causing the two pipes to touch, pinching the employee's wrist.
