Narrative

I entered the machine, and my left foot pressed down on a foot control, which raise the bucket up into the air. As bucket lifted, it caught right arm and lifted me into the air. I was holding onto a side bar with my left hand, and when the bucket lifted it raised my whole body, and my left arm got pinched between the ROPS and the boom cross member.
