## Narrative

EE was roof bolting and had finished drilling his next hole. Roof conditions were lower than normal and when he tried to install the 6' bolt, he could not get the bolt far enough in the hole to push the bolt up with the drill head. He attempted to push the bolt up by using the roof bolt plate, the plate slipped and struck him in the right knee.
