Seubert Excavators Inc · Fall from machine

The employee was tasked with helping fill water tank. EE was found about 30 minutes later laying face down saying EE was hurt and needed help. At this point it appears that the weight of the trailer shifted off the cribbing under the landing gears and caused the trailer to overturn, either striking against or rolling over the miner.
