Narrative

While roof bolting and having already installed the first two bolts of a row, had drilled the inside hole, inserted the glue and turned to get a bolt when the operator was struck by shale on the back of his left leg. His leg was splinted and he was transported to the surface. Diagnosis revealed fractures to the left Fibula and Tibia that will require surgery to correct.
