Narrative

While installing fence wire to the roof in the outby entry, EE lowered the T-bar on the bolter. The fence caught the pad of the T-bar. The EE tried to push the pad away from the fence when the pad came down and mashed his finger between the pad and the T-bar. This resulted in 7 stitches. EE was wearing gloves.
