The employee was operating a CAT 349F on a bench in the quarry.  EE was attempting to cast material down hill in order to make the pad wider so EE could safely scale the high wall. EE traveled the excavator over a narrow section and the material gave way from under the outside tracks causing the excavator to tip on its side and slide down the hill.
