Narrative

Miner was tightening bolts on a piece of equipment when a bolt snapped. The sudden decrease in resistance caused the Miner's hand to fly back, mashing his right ring finger between the wrench handle and a nearby pipe. This resulted in the Miner receiving 5 sutures on the affected finger.
