Employee just finished bolting 2nd cut in 4 left on Unit #3. As EE was lowering the canopy to back the bolter out of the entry, a rock fell and struck EE on the back of the head, pushing the operator's face into the tray on the boom. This caused a small laceration on EE's nose requiring (5) sutures to close the wound.
