I PARKED MY 980 LOADER NEXT TO A 580 BACKHOE. I STEPPED OFF OF MY LOADER INTENDING TO LAND ON THE FRONT TIRE OF THE BACKHOE, BUT THE FRONT END OF THE BACKHOE WAS RAISED IN ORDER TO FIX A FLAT TIRE. THE BACKHOE AXLE DROPPED AND THE TIRE SPUN AND I LANDED ON THE BUCKET RAISE ARM OF THE BACKHOE ON MY UPPER RIGHT RIBCAGE.
