Narrative

Left hand was struck by the lower section of a roof bolter drill steel. The lower drill steel was caught on the edge of the chuck as the rotation unit was raised. The upward pressure of the rotation unit boom caused the lower drill steel to be kicked outward. He was reaching towards the drill steel at the time & his left hand was struck between the thumb & index finger.
