## Narrative

The IE was attempting to pull a LW shield on to the ""duck bill"" of a shield hauler for transport. A nylon winch rope was hooked to the shield in preparation for pulling the shield onto the bill. As the winch rope was tightened, the tip of the foundry hook hung on the edge of the bill. The IE reached in to free it when it suddenly slipped from the bill striking EE in the chin.
