On April 17, 2010 EE was rock dusting the face of No. 1 Entry by hand and struck the backside of his left knee against the battery end of the scoop. EE felt pain, however completed his shift and went to Summersville Memorial to have it checked. X-Rays revealed a sliver of metal approx 1.25"" long and it was removed on 4/20/10. Stiches were required on incisions made to remove metal.
