Narrative

While bolting, the injured individual began drilling a hole. After penetrating the first layer, a section of rock loosened and fell down the drill steel. When it hit the drill pot, it broke, causing a 3-foot piece to drop onto the platform and land on EE's right foot, resulting in a diagnosis of a fractured small toe.
