Narrative

Employee stated he was using a bolter, installing chain hangers in a new cut out drive area. The top was higher than normal and he was using a longer steel to drill the hole, when it hit a crack in the strata, jumped up, started to wobble. He reached out to grab the steel and also hit the up pressure at the same time and the steel bowed and struck the back of his hand.
