Human Factors
I was working Gate XX and wanted to start loading flight XXXX. I noticed the outbound bags were near the loader; so I pushed and positioned the cart near the belt. After loading the flight; the Pilot told me that my cart bent the wick. I walked to the wing and noticed the rubber tip of my car bent the static wick. I then told my Lead; which called the Supervisor.
Ground crew member reported baggage cart contact; bent static wick of aircraft.
