## Narrative

EE was replacing a scoop push plate ram. Two miners were assisting employee. As the connection pin was being hit through the block and into the ram eye, the injured EE stuck a finger in the block hole to see if it was lined up. At that point the eyelet dropped a couple inches and the tip of the finger was pinched. This resulted in 11 stitches and the tip of finger fractured.
