While bolting a face cut. The bolter operator was in the process of preparing to drill the hole for the inside bolt on his side of the bolter. When the bit touched the roof, a piece of roof rock 1-2"" thick, 2' wide and 5' long fell from the roof. It hit the support arm of the ATRS and slid down it, hitting the bolter operator on the right side of his head, shoulder and chest.
