## Narrative

The miner was picking up a 4FT wire rope sling. As EE slid EE's gloved hand through the end loop, it pushed EE's shirt sleeve up, exposing EE's arm. When EE lifted upward, the cable rotated on EE's forearm. A broken wire strand on the sling loop penetrated the skin, became lodged and required medical treatment to remove it. The injury was minor.
