## Narrative

A small portion of the lower high-wall near the coal seam sloughed off. This caused the employee tending a six inch diesel pump in the center of the pit (approximately 50 feet from the high-wall) to turn suddenly and twist his right knee. He was taken to the ER and evaluated as having a sprained knee and released.
