Employee #1 suffered a laceration injury to his right palm, when a swinging piece of concrete suspended by chains from the bucket of a loader abruptly contacted his right forearm and forced his right palm onto the top of a mattock handle. When Employee #2 drove the loader backhoe travelled over a sidewalk curb, the load swung in such a fashion as to make contact with Employee #1's forearm, while Employee #1 was using the mattock to dislodge another piece of concrete.
