EE was watching the electric cable on a 2800 electric shovel which was moving. The cable had slack in it and as that slack was pulled out the EE was not far enough away from the cable when the slack came out striking him on his right knee dislocating it. As cable was pulled, the shovel door opened striking the cable jerking it into the EE.
