The victim was standing behind the center bolter observing the slack power cable laying on the ground. As he walked around the bolter to check for slack, he stepped on a small rock (saucer dish size) causing him to twist & fall to the bottom. He was taken to the hospital and a soft cast was put on. He went into convulsions on 4/28/07 at home and later died at the hospital.
