Narrative

An employee was trying to remove a bucket attachment that was stuck on a skid steer. He raised the bucket off the ground, exited the steer cab, and was hammering on the stuck release pin when the bucket fell to the ground, striking him below the knees and scraping several inches of skin off to the bone.
