Narrative

The employee was pulling out of a jackleg hole when he inadvertently opened the chuck tender which released the steel unexpectedly. This caused the machine to fall forward and his hand was pinched between the nose of the machine and the rock. His glove was caught in the chuck tender so he couldn't pull his hand away.
