## Narrative

Employee was rock bolting the back when he encountered a rock that had a crack in it but was too tight to bar down. He decided to moil it down with his drill but when it broke loose it contacted the footwall and deflected toward him. It struck him on the right calf causing a laceration which required sutures.
