Narrative

IE was assisting in pulling slack from the stageloader chain. They were using a winch to pull with and the cable was running through a sheave wheel. The cleavis holding the sheave broke allowing the sheave to come loose. The sheave struck the panline and bounced off hitting IE in the thigh causing a deep bruise.
