Narrative

While tramming the shuttle car to the miner EE hit the panic bar as the shuttle car passed an open break. The brakes locked up on the shuttle car bringing it to an immediate stop. The sudden stop caused EE to jam his right index finger into the shuttle car controls, spraining his finger. He continued to work until 8/20/15 & is off taking physical therapy for his finger.
