EE was trying to clean the frozen ice and coal out of the chute for loading the pneumatic trucks at Wildcat. EE was standing below the chute mouth and had a long bar by which he was shoving up into the output mouth of the chute. While prying and probing, a piece of frozen material broke loose from the chute and fell, striking EE on the right hand upon the forefinger.
