Narrative

EE was backing the miner out of the cut of coal when the cable went under the miner. He went up to remove cable from under the miner and accidentally bumped the remote control box against the cable stand-off, activating the tram lever and then the panic bar. He was caught between the coal rib and the stand-off of the machine.
