Narrative

Rebuild shop fabricator was removing shims from the rear differential of a 35C Fairchild scoop. A floor jack was being used to support the differential while bolts were being removed. He failed to check the jack, which was not tightened against the differential. He removed the last bolts and the differential mashed his finger to the jack. He received 24 sutures and was released.
