Narrative

The KeyPlate wedges against the JawDie to hold it in place. A piece of angle iron was welded to the KeyPlate used as lifting eye. Using a come-along to remove the plate. The come-along applied tension to the plate the EE was hitting it with a hammer to jar it loose. Weld on the lifting eye broke, striking EE in the chin causing a cut requiring 6 stitches
