Narrative

Employee was disconnecting shuttle car cat heads for the power move. They started to pull the middle car cable up and didn't realize it was still connected to the distribution box. When the cable got tight it turned the distribution box. Employee's left ankle was caught between the distribution box and the C.O. cable sled. This resulted in a bruise on EE's left ankle.
