Narrative

Employee moved the RBM into the 3 left crosscut and dismounted the operator's deck. As he was exiting the deck of the RBM, the continuous miner trammed into the flypads directly behind the roof bolter, striking the employee and knocking him to the mine floor. This resulted in multiple sprains/strains of the upper body.
