Narrative

EE had welded a pick eye onto some steel in order to pull a chute (to be installed) w/a chain come-a-long. EE apparently placed too much tension on the come-a-long, which in turn placed too much tension on the pick eye. The weld pulled loose, causing the pick eye to strike EE in the hand, injuring the index finger on his left hand.
