Narrative

The EE was attempting to remove a rock in the sampling unit. The electrical circuit to the belt had been de-energized, but not to the coal sampling machine. The EE got between the belt and the sampling arm. The sampling unit activated by a timer came on pinning the EE with the metal arm. EE was flown by helicopter to Holston Valley Hospital. MSHA hot line notified on 8/29/11.
