Narrative

Replacing a motor on K660 coal drag. While lowering the motor to the ground it got caught on a mounting bracket causing the motor to roll, resulting in side-loading the gate on the hook of the Tuggit. Failure of the gate caused the motor to fall. In the fall the motor struck the removed guard causing it to slide into the employee's left shin and right ankle.
