Narrative

A 4-person shot crew was loading a toe shot on a 147-foot highwall when a large rock in the wall failed and fell approximately 25 feet above the floor. The two people operating the loading hose ran, but rock rolled in the same direction as the IP. As the IP ran, IP tripped over the hose, brushed the rock, and fell. IP sprained right shoulder, elbow and damaged three teeth.
