The worker heard air leaking out of a bladder used for the final cleaning of the slurry line. When he went in front of the bladder it let loose and struck him in the stomach knocking him backwards causing him to lose balance and hit the back of his head on the pump behind him causing a small cut on the back of his head. That night he received 2 staples to keep cut closed.
