Struck by falling object

Miner was in the process of removing wedges on right side of tracked Jaw Feeder. During removal of the last wedge, the panel suddenly fell trapping the miner between the counterweight on excavator and the panel. The weight and force of the panel caused blunt force trauma to the chest and head.
