## Narrative

EE was observing a 6"" water line that he had helped relocate from the off side of the 001-0 section belt to the track side of the belt. When pipe was pressurized, a roustabout coupling came loose allowing pipe to swing around and strike him on his forehead. He sustained lacerations above left eye and right temple, requiring sutures.
