EE was trying to lift a 3"" electric pump to check a problem. EE was swinging the swing gate as EE was cranking the cable lift. EE let go of the gate, causing the pump to drop. EE then tried to stop it by grabing the crank handle and the rotation of the handle caused a laceration to the palm of his right hand.
