## Narrative

EE was going to shovel sand from underneath the tailpulley of the sand conveyor. He thought the ground would be harder and when he went to push the shovel in, it sank into the wet sand like water. EE lost balance, falling forward and caught the meat of his hand between his R thumb & forefinger on the guard around the tailpulley, cutting it open and requiring 4 stitches.
