Narrative

EE pulled shuttle car underneath the miner conveyor boom to begin loading. During loading, apparently a rock stopped the conveyor, resulting in the failure of the boom jack and sending several parts flying through the air, most landing on the shuttle car near the operator's deck. When the jack failed, the pin flew through the air, striking EE on right Knee Cap.
