Narrative

An employee was standing on a Ramcar, washing it off, when another employee started to move a nearby Ramcar in the opposite direction. The moving Ramcar caught the roof bolter cable hanging from bullhorns, pulling the cable down. The moving cable forcibly struck the employee standing on the Ramcar, knocking that employee down on the Ramcar.
