Final narrative
An employee was standing on a burial vault lid approximately 3 to 4 feet below grade hand-shoveling soil off the lid. An excavator was at rest on ground level accepting the shovels of soil. The excavator bucket inadvertently moved, causing the boom to swing. The excavator bucket then pinned the employee's hip to the wall of the grave, resulting in a fractured pelvis.
