## Narrative

EE was trying to clean the frozen ice and coal out of the chute for loading the pneumatic trucks at Wildcat. EE was standing below the chute mouth and had a long bar by which he was shoving up into the output mouth of the chute. While prying and probing, a piece of frozen material broke loose from the chute and fell, striking EE on the right hand upon the forefinger.
