Narrative

I.E. and others were attempting to pull a stuck roof bolter out with a battery scoop. As they were pulling the bolter out, the piece of the scoop the strap was connected to broke. When it broke it contacted the I.E. across both knees. This caused contusions and ligament issues. I.E. was taken off by a doctor.
