Narrative

Employee was watching as a rock was being cut down at a roof fall. The rock was cut and when the rock landed, the roof bolt that was still inside of the rock became dislodged and ricocheted out of the rock and struck the employee that was standing approx. 15 feet away. PPE was not a factor, mining systems was not a factor, compliance with rules and regulations was not a factor.
