Employee states: On Friday July 7th approx 8pm while working on a broken cable I was swinging a sledge hammer to knock out the wedge to remove the cable and I felt something explode in my right arm. I thought I pulled a muscle so I continued to work. Then 1 hour later I took off my rain jacket and then I seen all the blood and the hole through my jacket and both t-shirts.
