Narrative

The employee smashed his right thumb while installing a pin on a dragline bucket dumprope. After getting the pin partially through the bores the pin stopped so the employee began to wiggle the pin. The pin freed up and as it dropped it pinched the thumb between the pin keeper and the rope becket end.
