Narrative

Employee was bolting in #5 entry on #1 section. After drilling with the 3' starter, EE inserted a 6' stack steel and used the fast feed to run the steel up the hole. EE let off the fast feed about 1 foot from the termination point but the fast feed stuck causing the steel to break striking EE on the right index finger resulting in 7 stitches.
