Narrative

The injured person was helping to hang ventilation tubing. As he lifted the tube, his footing slipped and he tried to catch himself by reaching for the roof bolter canopy. The canopy was being lowered at the time and his left index finger was caught between sections of the canopy mast, severing the tip of the finger.
