As the skid loader operator moved the skid loader forward, he glanced at a coworker that was standing on his left side and did not make eye contact with the employee standing on his right side. The operator moved the skid loader forward approximately a foot and ran over the top of the employee's leg with the right track of the skid loader. The employee fractured the tibia and fibula in his right leg when the skid loader stuck him. The employee was hospitalized for treatment.
