Narrative

After drilling a hole, the victim using the two fingers of his right hand, began guiding the two sections of an instal-2 roof bolt as he raised the boom of the roof bolter toward the roof. At some point the top section of the bolt caught somehow causing the joint of the two sections to buckle sideways pinching his pointer finger, breaking and lacerating it.
