Narrative

An employee was unbolting a hopper on a vertical fertilizer blender so that it could be loaded for transportation. When all the bolts except the corner bolts had been taken off, the top corner bolts pulled though the rusted angle iron (and welds broke on the angle iron itself), causing a motion that sent the employee back and to the ground. The employee suffered a broken coccyx.
