## Narrative

EE was removing a 6' conveyor belt clamp with another ee.  The partner disconnected the jaws on his side first, and dropped the bottom plank.  The injured ee's side was not disconnected, so as the bottom plank fell, the jaws on his side acted as a fulcrum.  The planks extended past the jaws by about 1"", and the ee's thumb was between.  His thumb was pinched.
