## Narrative

Two EEs worked from a work deck suspended beneath the production shaft west skip, to replace a skip pocket guide. They asked for the deck to be lowered slightly quicker. The deck held up at tight spot & was struck by the skip, moving the deck approx 10' until the cables were taut, rapidly stopping the deck. The decks stopping jammed EEs into the deck causing their injuries.
