EE was utilizing a pry bar through an inspection hole on a rock hopper trying to free a jammed rock. When the rock came free, the rock fell against the pry bar in the inspection hole. EE still had his hands around the pry bar. EE's finger was lacerated when the pry bar moved up and into a steel support for the hopper.
