Narrative

While moving the plastic dredge pipe one of the Miners was injured. The pipe was pulled out of the lake to point A. Then we needed to reposition the wheel loader on the other side of the pipe. When he pulled out to move to the other side, the pipe swung wide knocking the miner to the ground and falling onto his legs breaking them both.
