Sudden bucket
movement shakes off mechanic inside. |
A mechanic stepped in
the bucket of a hydraulic excavator and was checking the pin securing the
bucket. Not knowing that, another mechanic operated the bucket control
lever. The bucket started moving and threw him off on the ground. He then
tried to protect himself with his hands and sprained the wrist. .
