Narrative

He was standing on shield No. 67, operating the side shield control lever when a rock, measuring 6""x8""x5"" fell between shields No. 67 & 78 striking him on the back of his right hand. The force of the rock striking his hand forced his hand into the leg cover, subsequently causing a small laceration to the palm of his hand.
