An employee was attempting to feed the hopper with a loader and the bucket was low to the ground. When EE turned EE's bucket the top side of the bucket scraped the ground which caused the loader to come to an abrupt stop. (The employee admitted to not wearing seat belt during time of incident.) The impact caused the employee to strike the windshield with EE's head and shoulder.
