Narrative

Employee set skip up to return to production hoisting following a mantrip, but failed to correctly engage the latching mechanism on the south skip door. After a few production hoisting cycles, the door latch arm disengaged during a dump cycle. When the skip exited the dump point, the latch arm contacted a headframe structural member, wedging the skip and damaging the skip door
