Narrative

Employee was checking an air slide on a silo to make sure it was not plugged up. While doing so he notice the pin had backed out of the cylinder head that operates the gate that feeds the air slide. When he tried to replace the pin back in the head of the cyclinder it went closed & wedged his finger between the cyclinder head & a sharp metal edge.
