A scoop was driving through a wing curtain and caught it on the canopy. IE asked for the scoop operator to stop and shut down the machine, but IE hurried in too quickly to free the curtain before the emergency brake had time to fully set. The scoop was on a slight incline and rolled a few inches onto the IE's right foot. IE suffered two broken metatarsals.

The IE was driving a diesel scoop on the Main East travel road. The IE encountered a piece of large coal in the roadway.

The broken eyebolt projected into the cab of the scoop striking IE on the R/S of the head.
