Strained left elbow lowering hose while loading a shot.
EE was using a board as a pry to loosen a turbo from a piece of equipment. This lead to him tearing his rotator cuff.
He was using a cutting torch, he had on a t-shrit and a sweat shirt. The line on the torch got a hole in it and the gas went up into his shirt. When a spark hit the gas that was then trapped in his shirt, it caught on fire, therefore burning EE. He was taken to the hospital, then trasported to UC hospital burn center for 3rd and 2nd degree burns.
