## Narrative

EE was bolting from the operator side in #5 face one the section. Seam height is 50"" so he was bending the 48"" bolt enough to install. Bent one bolt and was straightening it back after placing in the hole with his left hand. He bumped the drill rotation with his right hand and the bolt whipped around, striking his left wrist. Received a fracture and was placed on light duty.
