Narrative

The employee was standing on the right side of the Fletcher DD0 15 Roof bolter. As the bolter trammed past him to set up to begin a row of bolts, the right front tire ran over the side of a rock that was laying on the mine floor, measuring approximately 10? Long by 10? Wide by 5? thick, causing the rock to become an airborne projectile and struck the employee.
