The Simba longhole drill was parked facing downhill. The drill has a spotlight mounted outside the cab. The controls for the spotlight are also outside the cab. This light was on and he leaned out of the cab, placing his hand on the door latch to look for the light switch. The door slammed its self shut crushing his right ring finger.
