Narrative

He was servicing the miner. The miner bits got caught on the line curtain, so he shut the miner off and tried to get the curtain loose. Since he could not free it, he started the miner to drop the head. He placed his left hand on a bit lug. Instead of lowering the head, he mistakenly raised the head, smashing his left hand between the roof and the miner head.
