Miner was changing a cutting edge segment on a loader when EE supported the segment with EE's leg and used an impact gun to remove the bolt. The bolt head spun loose and the miners leg shifted and came in contact with the sharp edges of the bolt resulting in a laceration to the shin of the miner, requiring stitches.
