Narrative

EE was bolting on the right side of the bolter. As he raised the bolter boom to couple everything together, this caused the drill steel to bow and when it slipped off the lip the steel flexed striking him in the right hand palm as he was reaching for the drill steel. He was not able to work his next shift because of fractured bone next to his thumb.
