## Narrative

An employee was resealing a control valve on a loader. He tipped the loader bucket and secured it into the ground, so he could access the valve. He then relieved the hydraulic pressure from the lines, but one of the lines still had pressure in it. The line blew fluid and released the loader arms, which came down and trapped the employee between the arms and the bucket linkage, fracturing his ribs.
