## Narrative

Quarry Saw bar was lodged in cut.  Crew was unable to remove without damaging.  EE blocked the bar below to keep bar from falling 4"" to the ground & began the process of loosening the bar.  When it broke free EE's foot happened to be right below the water line that comes out of the bar.  Bar landed on skid as planned but water line hit left foot.
