Narrative

Two employees were pulling a SC into the mine with a 25X. They had 2 3/4"" chains between the machines. They went around a corner to backup. When they started forward the chains had slack in them an came apart. The SC rolled back and the hoses pulled the steering valve off and it hit the SC operator in the right forearm.
