## Narrative

A roof bolter operator (IE) stated that he installed a drill steel coupling into the starter steel to complete drilling the hole. The insert broke at the base of the starter steel. The 2nd steel came out of the drill chuck and struck the IE just below the elbow, right above the kevlar sleeve he was wearing. The IE went to the Dr. and received two staples to close the wound.
