While moving forward, the operator dropped the bucket of the loader causing it to dig into the ground stopping the machine immediately. This caused the operator to hit the front windshield with their head cracking it. Due to having this incident, the operator is required to conduct a post-incident drug test and be seen medically, however the operator refused.
