Narrative

EE was moving material from a bench to be loaded onto trucks. EE had a full bucket and swung to the left rapidly, causing the rear to lift. EE tried to correct the instability by swinging back to the right, but the machine was too far off balance causing it to overturn on the cab side. In the process of the rescue the ee pulled a muscle in EE's back.
