Narrative

Development miner had checked the ceiling to be bad using a machine scaler. After coming to the conclusion that the ceiling was good they proceeded to scale past that point when they had a chunk fall from the ceiling onto the scaler boom. The material hitting the boom teetered the machine forward causing the miner to hit their head inside the cab.
