Narrative

Grader was the last in line with 4 other graders blading snow off of shovel bench. The blade hit a large rock and suddenly stopped the grader, throwing the operator forward, then jerking the operator back. When EE's head jerked back, head hit the handle on the door, causing a cut on the back of EE's head, a brief blackout, which resulted in a concussion and a sore neck.
