Narrative

After drilling a hole, the employee placed a roofbolt on the drill head and as he attempted to push the bolt into the hole, the bolt missed the hole & hit the mine roof causing the roofbolt to bow out and smash his left index finger between the bolt and the drill steel clamps resuting in a laceration which required 7 sutures.
