The continuous miner was parked next to a rib and EE was checking something on the machine while the belts were down. The rib made a little noise and came down. EE didn't have time to move and the rib pushed EE's knee into the miner bruising and cutting the knee.
EE was behind the line curtain, putting chunks of coal on the brattice. A rib rolled off and struck EE on the left side, fracturing some ribs and spraining EE's right ankle.
Putting water line together, rib fell and struck EE in head and right leg
