Narrative

The employee was preparing to roof bolt the crosscut of #5 entry when a rock fell from the unsupported roof on top of the canopy of the roof bolter. The rock broke and cantilevered off the canopy. It landed vertical and when it fell to the side, the employee got caught between the rock and the tray of the roof bolter. This caused a non-displaced fracture to one rib.
