EE was setting the ATRS on the roof bolter when a coal rib rolled and struck his right leg, trapping it against the roof bolter. This occurred in the right crosscut in the #6 entry of the 003-0 mmu. Rib roll measured approximately 10' long x 2.5' high x 10"" thick. The result was a fracture to the lower right leg.
