Narrative

The miner was emptying 100 lb. bags of material from a pallet elevated over a waste hopper. As he moved a bag of material to the front of the pallet, to empty the bag, the weight of the bags broke some of the pallet slats. This caused three bags of material to fall from the pallet and one of the bags struck the miner on his right leg and ankle, twisting his ankle.
