Struck against a moving object

While working a steep backfill slope doing reclaimation work, the dozer operator was unable to maintain control, resulting in rollover of dozer approx 4-5 times. Although wearing seatbelt, a broken back and swelling of C-spine resulted, causing loss of sensation and paralysis.
