Narrative

A roof bolter was installing 8' bolts. Due to bolt length being greater than seam height these bolts must be bent prior to installation then straightened once inserted into the hole. While straightening the bolt, hand slipped off. The bolt sprung back and struck I.E. over the right eye causing a laceration of approximately 2"" that required sutures.
