Narrative

Employee was using a hand bender to straighten out a ground rod. His right, ring finger became stuck in the frame work of the bender. As he put pressure on the board, the momentum of his body caused the bender to twist. This forced his finger to twist in a sideways direction, ultimately, resulting in a finger fracture.
