Mechanics were working on a loader in the shop that was having a hydraulic issue. They removed 2 cartridges and started to remove the 3rd cartridge for the stab cylinder. When the mechanic removed the 3rd cartridge it blew out under pressure causing EE to stumble back and strike chin on the metal table.
