Narrative

Employee and crew were changing out a pull back cable on a t-3 rig, when the employee stuck his finger through the eye on the cable end to finish pushing the pin out. When the pin came out, the head dropped a little and the slack from the weight of the cable was released, pinching his finger in the eye of the cable end.
