Narrative

The EE was installing split set roof bolts with a jack leg drill. While driving the bolt into place the steel plate on the roof bolt knocked a rock out of the back. The rock hit the miner in the head, his hard hat was on his head pushing his face onto the jackleg drill, breaking his tooth.
