Narrative

Miners were removing a frozen water hose from the catwalk beside a conveyor. One end of the hose was hung over the railing of the catwalk and was lowered to the ground. Gravitational energy started the hose falling freely, running along the rail, and the hose struck a miner in the face, breaking nose and knocking them to the catwalk floor.
