Narrative

While replacing a long cylinder on #9 press, the winch was attached to the rear of the long cylinder after the center mount had been secured to pull the chamber back so the pin could be installed. The torque on the winch was released and the long cylinder pivoted downward pinching EE's foot causing a laceration on his foot behind the steel toe of his boot.
