## Narrative

He was rib bolting on the right side of the continuous miner.  He just finished drilling his hole when he lost his footing.  In order to catch himself, he grabbed the slide on the rib drill with his right hand.  His left hand (still on the lever controls) accidentally bumped the lever and the pinner retracted and pinched his right hand between the pinner and the stops.
