EE was cleaning shot in pit when he heard a crackling noise and noticed rock falling from high wall. One of the rocks struck the ledge of wall and exploded, the exploded rock was no bigger than the inside of a hard hat. EE was about 30 foot away and began running to avoid being struck but one rock did hit him from behind on his back right side-mid/upper shoulder.
