Narrative

While working to clear a clogged input hood of a Hazmag crusher the side door was being opened, once the door was over center the two miners opening the door could not hold the weight of the door and material. The door then swung down crushing the first and second fingers of one of the miner's right hand between the door and body of the crusher.
