Narrative

The McCloskey S190 was being fed by the loader. The McCloskey suddenly shut off. The operator got out to check what was wrong and there was a code on the machine that said ""cooler fail"". The operator went to check how hot the cap was on the radiator, EE barely touched the cap and the cap flew off and the hot coolant sprayed on EE's forearm causing burns to EE's forearm skin.
