Narrative

A 5' drill steel fell out of the roof and caught the left hand between the steel and steel extension. The operator thought the steel was clamped in the guide jaws but the insert had come out prior to the operator closing the jaws onto the steel. The belt securing the insert into the jaws had come out allowing the insert to come out. Sutures to close wound.
