Narrative

Were retreat mining, had an inexperienced miner operator and was not cleaning the cuts as he was mining. The rock fell on the miner head holding the head on the bottom. The miner could not pull out on it's own due to the fact that the miner had spun the loose coal out from under the cats and the machine saddle bagged on loose coal.
