## Narrative

The victim was clearing debris from the underside of a drag line. The victim was working on one of the sections when the plate liner fell. The plate was not just bent upwards into the section as usual; it was broken completely and only being held by debris. As the plate fell towards him it struck him on his shoulder and neck area.
