Narrative

Miner was filling the propane tank on EE's forklift from a bulk propane tank. As EE disconnected the filling hose, the pin in either the filling nozzle or the forklift propane tank stuck open allowing propane to escape under pressure. The propane hit the back of the miner's hands and caused freeze burns resulting in skin loss on the back of the right and left hands.
