## Narrative

The employee was using a tugger to winch a relay bar on the Longwall face.  The bracket broke loose, causing tension in the tugger cable.  The employees legs became pinched under the cable, against the headgate.  This caused a fracture to the right fibula, bruising the left thigh and an avulsion to his middle finger on his right hand.  He is on restricted duty.
