Narrative

Employees were working on a miner using a puller when the race popped, which released the tension. This caused the employee to slip, losing his balance on uneven ground and roll his left ankle. The employee was taken to the emergency room where x-rays indicated that the employee sustained an Avulsion Fracture.
