Narrative

2 EE's were Roof bolting on the 5 west ramp. They proceeded to install a bolt in the area to the right of 10 previously installed bolts. Using a jackleg drill they started to collar a hole noticing the rock looked suspect. They started to move when a slab fell striking them with debris. Fall was arrested by fall protection. Both men sustained mutiple injuries.
