## Narrative

While the 852 drag line was walking, an operator was walking in front of the machine to ensure power cables were clear of the tub.  Due to recent rainfall, the area was saturated and muddy.  As the operator was walking thru the mud, he felt a pain in his lower back as he pulled his foot out of deep mud.
