Narrative

Employee was pushing a ram car up a grade with a diesel scoop. The ram car gained traction allowing the bucket of the scoop to lose contact with the ram car. The front wheels of the scoop were raised approximately 10 inches off the mine floor. The scoop fell back to the floor causing the operator to hit his head on the canopy of the scoop causing a neck strain.
