## Narrative

A Cat EX1 excavator was loading a rock into the bed of a Cat 777 when the rock dropped out of the bucket and struck the truck bed.  This action caused the bed to raise slightly and then came down jarring the operator in the cab.  The truck driver complained 4 hours later of a pain in their back.  The employee was examined by a physician and diagnosed with a low back strain.
