Struck by falling object

Victim was removing a machine bottom guard (belly pan) on a Caterpillar D-10 N dozer. Apparently the chain he was using to hold the belly pan while he was removing the bolts that held it in place slipped when the bolts were removed. The belly pan swung down and struck the victim inflicting fatal injuries
