Narrative

The bolter operator was putting up a roof bolt when some material fell out hitting the canopy causing it to hinge sideways grazing his right leg and foot. He continued to work for a while and later taken outside to have the leg checked. X-rays show that there was a small fracture to the fibula bone in his right leg just above the ankle.
