Defective tire hammer handle. The damage could not be seen during the pre task inspection of the tool. The miner was breaking down tires with the hammer when the handle broke and the metal end of the hammer bounced off of the tire striking the miner in the right forehead. The miner received stitches for a 6" laceration.
