Rock Solid Stone Quarry LLC · Struck by falling object
The miner was working as a catcher on the hydrolic stone splitter. He had caught a rock and as he was moving his hands away the next rock was split leaving the blade in a straight out manner instead of falling down. The rock struck the miners finger requiring 12 stitches.
