Narrative

The injured was loading bolting supplies onto the back of the #4 Fletcher bolter; he had bent down to pick up a bundle of resin when a slab of roof rock measuring 5' X 3' X 3"" fell from the roof striking him on the back of the head and neck. He was transported to local E.R. where all x-rays and cat scan were negative and he was diagnosed with a neck strain.
