## Narrative

A sledge hammer was used to remove a sprocket segment from a bucket elevator.  When the sledge hammer hit the sprocket, metal came off and hit an employee about 15-20 feet away in the abdomen.  The employee was taken to the ER to receive an X-Ray to verify no metal remained in the laceration, a tetanus shot, and two stitches before being returned to work.
