Narrative

EE was packing two bundles of monster mats and two bundles of split set plates to an area they were preparing to bolt. Previous shift had bolted in the area earlier in the day. As the EE bent down to set the mats and plates down, the top bundle of split set plates fell and struck a 4' split set leaning up against the rib. The bolt stuck him in the face.
