Narrative

Employee was struck on the hand by a link from a broken chain. The employee was standing 25 feet from the continuous miner as the CM backed out of #3. A chain, that had been of the miner, got wrapped around the offside spray block chassis and the other end was run over by the miner, putting tension on the chain causing it to break.
