IW was attempting to repair guard around the tail end of the feeder belt. Used a ratchet strap attached to a K rail and the angle iron around the belt to pull the angle irons back into the proper position to make the repair. Worker went to stand up to look for a hammer and used the ratchet strap as a crutch to lean on which pulled the k rail over on top of IW pinning IW.
