A miner was in the process of locking down a flop gate with a bungie cord when their left hand was struck by the ""S"" hook. The bungie cord did not fully seat at the bottom of the chute causing it to snap back causing a laceration to their left hand. The miner was seen at a clinic where they received 3 stitches.
