Narrative

The victim had just installed a dywidag bolt with a jackleg. As he pulled the driver off of the bolt he lost his balance and the machine pivoted forward against the leg. The victim's hand was in this pinch point and the result was a laceration on the pinky finger and possible hairline fracture.
