You are a front-end loader operator. Marvin, a co-worker, approaches an unstable highwall. Suddenly a large rock falls completely covering his legs. Marvin is trapped lying face down and screaming. Small pieces of rock continue to dribble down from the highwall. You and the other four miners present must figure out how to help Marvin while protecting yourselves. You must free Marvin, remove him from danger, and provide first aid for his serious injuries.
This exercise is similar to the "Unsupported Roof Rescue" (invisible ink) exercise.
