Narrative

One man moved a piece of grating using only eye contact with his partner rather than using a verbal communication like, ""Are you ready?"" The injured was in the process of re-gripping the grating when the first man pulled on the grating causing it to spin away wedging the injured's finger against a piece of channel.
