Narrative

EE had just taken the bucket off the Scoop. While backing outby the scoop canopy hit the air outlet on the 4"" compressed airline which caused the airline to be separated from the victaulic coupler. This caused the rock dust in the entry to create zero visibility condition. EE continued outby and the 4"" line entered the cab of the scoop and struck the operator in the head.
