Employee killed when struck by falling excavator bucket

Employee #1 and a coworker were working in trench as a loader was dumping gravel into it. To protect them from the gravel flying overhead, another coworker, operating a Komatsu PC400-5 Trac-hoe with an Esco bucket attached by a JB Hendrix coupler, positioned the empty bucket above their heads. The bucket fell off the excavator and struck Employee #1, killing him. The coworker was knocked aside, but did not sustain injuries.
