Employee's foot crushed when struck by large bucket

At approximately 3:00 p.m. on October 14, 1999, Employee #1 was working as a laborer. He had attached the boom arm to the boss coupler of the bucket and applied downward pressure to unseat the locking pin. He then shook the bucket, trying to dislodge it and nothing happened. The operator swung the bucket and it unexpectedly released, pitching forward. It caught Employee #1's left toes. He suffered the amputation of two small toes and the crushing of the next two toes on his left foot. Employee #1 was taken to the hospital and treated for his injuries.
