Narrative

An examiner reported a loose rock to the section face boss. The face boss went and got a pry bar to pull it down with, when he pulled the rock down it landed on its end and tipped over, striking the boss on his left knee. This happened between the #1 and #2 entries in the last open cross-cut of the 2nd East panel.
