Narrative

A boulder too large to enter the crusher cavity was lodged on the feeder. The injured was using a steel cable to wrap around the boulder. The cable would then have been hooked to a loader bucket and removed from the feeder. When he attempted to take the slack out of the cable it slipped and hit him in the left eye.
