## Narrative

EE was assisting a mechanic testing the pins on the skid steer bucket.  While the bucket was raised in the air the TM pulled and shook the bucket when EE felt an abdomen strain. The result from a previous coughing episode of exertion and the extension of EE's arms pushing and pulling on the bucket resulted in a hernia.  EE reported to a physician which resulted in surgery.
