Narrative

Two Drill operators were changing the sub on a drill. At approximately 16:15, the second operator positioned the J wrench on the sub to break it loose from the drill steel. The drill operator inside Cab went through neutral on the controls and engaged reverse rotation of the drill steel. As a result, the J wrench swung back and pushed the operator's foot beneath the carousel.
