Narrative

Employee was loading/sending supply cars up the hoist. The belt skid was too far on one side of the car so employee was using a jack and pry bar to move skid up and over the edge of the flat car. Employee stuck the pry car into a hole on the belt skid. When employee went to pry on the bar, the bar slipped, causing employee to fall back into the supply car.
