Narrative

The mine guys strapped a motor with the wire part of the come-along around the rafter and as they moved the motor the wire kinked and broke dropping the motor; it fell and hit the side of my body and bounced landing on my hand on the railing of the crane smashing my hand and removing two fingers on my right hand.
