Narrative

Employee was riding out of the mine in the back of a rubber tired mantrip with his left arm up behind his head. When the operator turned into a x-cut to let an approaching scoop pass, he got too close to the rib and the injured mans elbow was caught by a low brow dragging his arm between the rib and the mantrip.
