## Narrative

Employee was caught between the feeder and the coal rib as he was tightening up the chain connecting the feeder to the tailpiece. The crew had just completed moving the belt and was in the process of anchoring and aligning the tailpiece. The tailpiece broke loose and when doing so shifted the tailpiece and feeder towards the off side of the belt, where the employee was positioned.
