Narrative

Worker was rock bolting in east decline. The split set bolt he was driving in was too low to get the drill and driver on in a vertical position. He was trying to force the bolt in when the ring snapped off causing the machine to lunge forward. His hand was on top of the machine and hit the rock bolt cutting his left ring finger requiring 5 stitches.
