## Narrative

IE was preparing to repair a hose on LW Shield 156. The IE electrically unlocked the shield to allow the shear to continue mining. IE reached over the base lift halo to retrieve EE's hammer. The vertical pin broke allowing the base lift halo to jump up striking the IE in the chest when EE was stretched out reaching for EE's hammer.
