Narrative

An employee was cutting out a liner in a crusher. The safest way to remove the liner was to cut it up into 12"" to 18"" sections while positioned out of the way and allow them to drop to the belt. The first section was cut, and apparently hit another section along the way down to the belt causing it to take an unusual flip landing on the employee's right foot.
