## Narrative

Was kneeling on knees pulling old belt out of bottom of leg #2 while the new belt was being pulled in above me.  There was a piece of plywood that the new belt was laying on.  When they pulled the new belt, the plywood slipped off of the beam it was resting on and hit him in the back of the head on his hard hat and snapped his head ahead.
