## Narrative

Employee was removing tailgate on a Cat 773B Coal Truck, using a three part choker sling and the National Series 1100 crane. The choker was off center, so they set the tailgate back down on the truck bed to remove tension from the cables and readjust them.  As the employee was adjusting the cable the load shifted pinching his right index finger between the load and the cable.
