Narrative

Mechanics were removing a hoist cylinder from a bolter. As they were removing a collet one mechanic was tapping on the boss with a hammer and the collet relieved itself and flew approximately 10 feet and hit the mechanic standing on the opposite side in the face. As a result the individual received (5) five stitches above EE's left eye at the eyebrow area.
