Narrative

EE was unloading mono-rail trucks out of the bed of an Izusu pickup and putting them into a cable skid. As EE tossed the last mono-rail truck onto the pile, it started to fall off of the pile and as the EE attempted to catch the mono-rail truck he smashed his #5 finger on his right hand. The tip of the bone was fractured and 8 stitches were required.
