## Narrative

While taking the slack out of the Joy Continuous Miner conveyor chain, he was standing on the conveyor deck between the flights at the back of the boom. He was hitting the conveyor link with a 3 lb. sledge hammer when the link came apart. As the chain slid off the tail roller it caught his left foot. He fell 4' to the bottom landing on his left side.
