## Narrative

IE and an EE were replacing a tire on an Arctic truck when the tire was inflated without the outer lock ring installed. The tire blew off the rim, causing IE to fall and strike IE's head on the skid steer. IE was taken to Erlanger, received nine staples, stayed overnight, and has not yet been cleared to return to work.
