The miner was operating a crushing spread. The miner went to the top deck of the cone crusher to check if the cone was operating normally. The miner didn't follow proper procedure in this case. The miner looked into the cone when there was only a few rocks in it and when EE did, a rock bounced out and hit EE in the nose. The miner was seen at urgent care for a nose laceration.
