Narrative

He and two co-workers were moving a continuous miner along the Main West entry. After tramming the miner to a crosscut, the three man crew were placing the miner cable along the rib out of the roadway. All three men lifted and carried the cable over to the ribline; the two co-workers dropped the cable causing a jerk to the injured's shoulder resulting in pain.
