Struck by flying object

Two ee's were reattaching the bucket on a Gradall. They were attempting to remove the pin from the Gradall arm. The injured ee was holding the handle of the pin hammer while the other ee was striking it with a sledge hammer. Both hammers were hardened steel. A sharp steel fragment broke loose upon impact and entered the injured ee's arm midway between the wrist and elbow.
