Narrative

The EE was injured when he was drilling with a Jumbo. During drilling, he noticed loose centralizer bolts and attempted to tighten them with his rap wrench. As he was pulling on the wrench, it slipped off a bolt causing him to fall backward. As he fell backward, his left forearm brushed against a sharp rock on the rib, causing the injury.
