As EE pumped the glue into the roof, a slab of rock/headcoal about 3'x4'x1' thick fell out between existing roof straps. The falling rock struck EE across back.

Employee was cutting a cable bolt out over the longwall headgate to gain clearance for the stageloader to advance. When EE completed cutting the bolt off, a rock about 18" x 18" x 3-4" thick dropped out of the roof. The rock slid down previously installed roof screen and struck EE on the right foot.
