Narrative

Coworker got Employee's attention & indicated that he had stuck a roof bolt. Employee hurried over to the left (cab) side of the bolter and tried to save it. He ran the head up while holding the roof bolt wrench. When the wrench came in contact with the bolt, because the resin had already set, the bolt/wrench kicked in against the jaws, pinching employee's finger.
