Narrative

A miner reached into the head pulley area to dislodge a rock. The miner's right arm caught in the belt and pulled the miner up and over the top of the belt. A nearby miner immediately hit the E-stop. The supervisor was radioed immediately and cut the belt to release the miner. A tourniquet was placed on the miner's arm and an ambulance transported the miner to a nearby hospital.
