Narrative

Installing a chute on top of a feeder in the coal mill. The sling got hung up and the foreman told his crew to get a look from the back of the chute. The injured miner did not move(he does not understand english well). There was a problem with the rigging & the chute slid and hit injured below his knees breaking both legs.
