Cat Bird Mining, Inc. · Fall onto or against objects

The injured party was pinning top when a small piece of draw rock fell. He moved to get out of the way and hit his elbow on the side of the pinner. Just bruised and a very small cut. Two days later it was swollen because of infection. He had to spend time in the hospital.
