Narrative

A roof bolter operator was installing his second roof bolt in a row, when a piece of a coal rider fell from the mine roof and struck the canopy of his bolter. As he turned to run away from the machine, a piece of the rock broke as it hit the canopy and struck him in the lower back. The incident resulted in contusions to his lower back.
