## Narrative

Cleaning material stuck in the bed of a dump truck.  EE lifted the bed so the bed would stay open, connected the chains as an extra precaution and started cleaning the material. During the operation she bumped the chains causing the tailgate to dislodge and swing shut smashing fingers on both of her hands.
