## Narrative

EE was walking from the Headgate to the Mid face on the Longwall. When he stepped over #11 shield relay bar extension, his foot caught the extension's lifting handle. EE attempted to stop his fall by clasping on to the panline handrail. A strain to his right bicep resulted from the clasping. The strain was later diagnosed a muscle tear to the bicep requiring surgery.
