Narrative

The roof bolt crew moved from #7 to #6 when the bolts in the tray snagged the line curtain and began pulling supplies off. The off side operator began freeing the curtain while the operator trammed forward to give slack in the curtain. The bolt machine tracks rolled over the tip of the employees right foot partially amputating the tip of his big toe.
