## Narrative

While loading 3/4"" cable into a work boat, the miner lifted several bound wraps of cable over the handrail and let go.  When the loose end of the cable went over the rail, it whipped up and struck the miner in the right elbow.  This resulted in a contusion on the elbow and tingling in the right hand.  The miner returned to work, but with medical restrictions on right arm.
