## Narrative

Employee was using his leg to close the door on an empty coal car.  He had pushed the door so that the latch was caught on the '1st' notch of the lock.  As a second employee was closing a door on the other side, the vibration caused the first door to pop open and hit the employee's left shin causing a laceration.
