Narrative

EE was fixing a slab shot that was drilled through causing excess Dyno Ap to fall through the holes. As he picked up a stick of explosives, several rocks fell above him, ranging from the size of 30"" to 1"". The EE quickly moved to avoid the falling rocks but was struck on the back of his right hand causing a small laceration requiring 4 stitches.
