Narrative

A fully trained roof bolter was in the operators seat of a parked diesel mantrip. The mantrip was allowing other equipment to clear when the sitting mantrip was struck by another mantrip. This caused the injured to strike his shoulder against the mantrip. No mechanical damage was found on either mantrip.
