IE and two men were removing the off side planetary from the joy miner. They were using a set of come-a-longs and two ply bars. While laying on his side, EEs' ply bar slipped, causing his legs to move inward-the planetary fell out and onto his right foot-mashing btw planetary and cat track. No broken bones.
