EE was kneeling down inside the discharge chute of the shaker screen. He was at the discharge end of the chute using an acetylene torch to shorten the chute length. In essence, he was cutting off the very section of chute that he was kneeling on. As he cut through the chute; it destabilized and twisted. He fell 4.5', landing on his left side. He suffered broken ribs.
