Narrative

EE was installing the hammer of the PC490. The employee was using a bar in a swinging motion to push the pin out of the boss on the stick. The pin was almost out as the employee was swinging the bar toward the pin. The pin fell out and the PC490 stick pushed downward on the bar causing the end of the bar to rapidly move upward striking the employee's head.
