Narrative

As the rubber-tired vehicle was getting off the track, it hit a bump and the injured person grabbed onto the side of the frame. He caught his fingers between the vehicle and the track rail. Cause was safety awarness. Compliance with rules/regs not a factor, protective gloves were being worn, miner proficiency a factor, mining equipment/systems could be a factor.
