Narrative

While EE & partner were lowering & setting an air slusher in a drift the slusher became unbalanced about 6"" off the ground. EE put his hands on slusher to push it over before his partner began to lower it, when he lowered it the cable slipped & moved over to where his L hand was. This created a pinch point & resulted in EE getting his little finger crushed & ring finger fractured.
