Abstract: On December 15, 2008, Employee #1 was operating a Kobelco compact excavator, Model Number 50SR, on the top of a ditch bank.

The employee attempted to exit the machine and his right foot became caught under the machine. His foot was crushed and three toes were amputated, requiring hospitalization.
