Narrative

Employee stated he was bolting an area that had a slicky side slip in it . He went to put his drill steel in the chuck and a huge rock fell hitting the canopy and fell toward the face. When he heard it fall he lunged and dove backwards away from it and was not hit by the rock. When he got up off the floor he had a lacerated ear lobe.
