Over-exertion in wielding or throwing objects

The employee was using a 20 pound sledge hammer to hit the pins on a beam for a highwall miner. He raised the hammer over his head and came down with the hammer, when he felt something pull in his back. He worked the rest of the shift and went home and had to go the ER becuase he said he was in pain.
