Narrative

Employee was in the surface shop installing a transmission in a underground mantrip. The transmission became hung and wouldn't go in any farther so he was pulling at it trying to get it to free up. All of a sudden it came loose and caused the employee to fall backwards, twisting his knee and striking his elbow on a metal cover. He started missing 9/19/2007.
