## Narrative

The employee boarded the skip to ride down with the first shift.   His hand was positioned on top of the closing handle as he was sliding the gate closed.  When the gate slid to the closed position his right middle and ring finger were in the line of fire of the magnet sensor for the skip.  A crushing injury resulted in a single fracture to both finger tips.
