Narrative

During the skip re-alignment process on 9/10, the hoistman took the hoist out of safety mode to reset the skip but forgot to place the hoist back into safety mode for the 2nd skip's alignment. Thus, leading to the west skip over-traveling through the over-wind safety circuit and the track limit safety circuit causing damage to the cappel and the skip itself.
