Narrative

The miner was servicing underground mine equipment with 5 gallon safety cans when he picked up a full can of diesel (approx 35#). He turned to load the can on the service tractor and felt a pop in his left wrist. He continued to work the rest of his shift, but had discomfort and swelling during the night so he was taken to the Dr. the next morning.
