Narrative

Employee had backed the miner out of #7 entry and was pulling his cable back with the miner when the slack tightened on the intake rib. The rib rolled off onto his lower legs while he was throwing cable over from the miner. This caused a laceration to his lower left leg which had to be closed with sutures.
