Narrative

The employee was scooping an entry with a 580 scoop, and was attempting to remove a rock with the bucket by going underneath it. While in this process the front scoop tires where lifted off the ground, then the bucket came off the rock causing the scoop to bounce down. During this motion the employee bounced in the cab and bit down on teeth, resulting in a chipped tooth.
