Narrative

The IW was demoing a screw conveyor. The IW had his hands placed on top of the conveyor. Just as the conveyor freed, the IW placed his rt hand on the torch-cut end. The conveyor thus swung towards the torch-cut end smashing the IW's hand between it and some steel supports. The IW received lacerations to the rt hand at the base of the index and middle finger.
