Narrative

EE was water blasting material buildup in the riser when a chunk of material flew out and hit his face shield of his aluminized hood, causing him to stumble backwards. He hit his head on a vertical beam and the face shield popped off and the open frame of the face shield pushed his goggles down past the bridge of his nose. Another chunk of material flew out and hit his right eye.
