Narrative

EE was operating the continuous miner. As he was backing up, he noticed line brattice behind him. He reached through the opening of the canopy, directly behind the operators seat, to push the brattice to the side. While doing this, his left hand was above the canopy and his left index finger was squeezed between the roof and the canopy.
