Narrative

A roof bolter walked out-by to an intersection to get supplies. A CM operator was changing bits nearby. The CM operator stuck the bit with a hammer causing a metal shard to project striking the front chest/shoulder area of the bolter - approx. 5ft. away. Dr. at local ER determined the shard would not be removed. On 9/9/2016 the shard was removed.
