## Narrative

EE was unloading a roof bolting machine canopy jack from the maintenance truck with a chain and hoist at the surface shop.  As the jack was being raised, and EE placed his hand on the jack to guide it, the jack slid through the chain and mashed his right index finger between the jack flange and the hoist hook.
