Specialty Vermiculite LLC · Struck by falling object

A welded connection broke on a metal support for a feed box. When the weld broke, the feed box shifted and the hose feeding the feed box came out of the inlet pipe and fell toward the ground. A miner was standing under the pipe at the time and as the pipe fell, it struck the miner. The pipe struck the miner's hard hat and back of the head at the base of the neck.
