On both the employer for failing to enforce safe systems of work/training and the operator for failing to follow safety pin procedures Exclusively on the bucket attachment manufacturer for not making safety pins redundant On the injured ground worker for standing anywhere within 50 meters of the excavator No legal liability exists as bucket detachment is classified as an unpreventable accident
