EE was injuried during a rock slide that came loose due to thawing and freezing temps. EE saw the slide and tried to move out of the way, and the slide caught his feet and threw him down and covered him to his waist. Two others moved the excavator bucket to block any more sliding and carefully moved him to the safety zone. Transported to the hospital in helicopter.
