Narrative

HE HAD REMOVED THE TOP HALF OF THE BELT DRIVE CHAIN AND WAS USING A PRY BAR TO RAISE THE CHAIN UP SO HE COULD GET THE BROKEN LINKS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CASE. EITHER THE BAR SLIPPED OR THE SLACK CHAIN FELL ON THE BER. IN EITHER CASE THE BAR PINCHED HIS FINGER ON THE CHAIN. LACERATION WHICH REQUIRED STITCHES.
