Narrative

The employee was breaking rock on the grizzly with a double jack. When he made contact with the rock a small shard of broken rock was ejected and it struck him on the wrist between the cuff of his glove and the Kevlar arm guard that he was wearing. It caused a small puncture wound that nicked a vein causing significant bleeding. He received one suture.
