Narrative

Two employees were moving a powercable for an undercutter by way of tractor. One employee was watching the cable at the machine. The employee pulling the cable dropped off the wrong strap to add slack. When he took off again the power cable and cable swing arm pinched the employee against the back of the cutter.
