Narrative

Miner was climbing a ladder to a conveyor crossover. A large rock rolled off the side of the conveyor hitting the rope switch cable which was directly behind the rung EE was standing on. When the cable snapped tight, it caught the toe section of EE's left boot which hyperextended EE's left knee.
