## Narrative

Employee was sending cars to the surface on the hoist cage at Battle Run. EE pulled the de-coupler cable to release the supply car, that was on the hoist cage, from another supply car. The first pull didn't uncouple the car. EE then pulled again on the cable and felt a sharp pain in EE's left arm, through EE's shoulder, to EE's neck. The pain then dulled to a numb feeling.
