## Narrative

The miners were trying to switch out a 10"" x 50' poly pipe that had ruptured with a Caterpillar excavator. EE had put the chain choker on the pipe so it could be removed from the ditch and was trying to exit the ditch at the steepest end and in doing so lost footing and fell down twisting left knee.
