1Opinion of the Court
VOIGT, Justice.
[¶ 1] In May 1999, General Chemical employed appellant, Ernest Salas (Salas), as a shuttle car operator in its trona mine. On May 3rd, Salas was injured when a slab fell from the side of the mine, “rolled” him to the ground, and pinned him there. Following a contested case hearing, the hearing examiner found that the accident materially aggravated the pre-existing degenerative condition in Salas’ right knee. The district court reversed the hearing examiner’s determination, and Salas appeals the district court’s decision to this Court. We reverse.
