Narrative

During a mine rescue drill SMET team members were simulating a Hitachi 2500 shovel operator extraction. Two SMET team members were transporting the patient via backboard out of the cab. The load unexpectedly shifted when the uninjured SMET member's grip slipped and the backboard momentarily tilted.
