## Narrative

The E skip was positioned approximately 165' about the skip pocket load light. The skip was positioned at this pint to allow it to accelerate to full speed in order to troubleshoot the voltage output from the tack generator. The hoist operator was instructed to bring it to full speed. EE selected wrong direction and the W skip was at full speed causing it to go to bottom of deck.
