EE was holding up the inlet spout of a super sack to the discharge chute of a portable hopper used to do transfers. The hopper had approx 2000# of material inside of it that would not flow out. The operator hit the top of the hopper with the loader bucket, causing the hopper to fall back and pin EE's hand in between the forks of the forklift and hopper discharge chute.
