Narrative

Employee was operating the front MBC on the cat haulage system by remote control. EE was setting the unit up for a shuttle car cut when they noticed they pulled the unit too far so when they went to back the unit up they swung it towards themselves that's when the unit contacted them, pinching them between the unit and the coal rib.
